for the breeders
The most urgent task in the survival of the Hungarian Kuvasz is to revive the breeding spirit for the sake of that, we need to raise the appreciation of breeders in both the moral and the financial aspect to a higher level. The MKFE has done many steps in this field, but for further progress the involvement of the state was necessary. In order to do that they introduced the „free-herd book” in January of 2021. which can provide impressive help for the breeders. For the breeding it is essential to know the Hungarian breeding population, the survey of the national population, and the professional training of the breeders. The regular supervision of the using value (confidence, bravery, stabile nervous system), health and conformation (good physical abilities) happens on the official event of the MKFE, the breeding survey. During the breeding, the most important task is to preserve the using value and the genetical diversity.
