Have you spent some time with an adult Kuvasz?
Why are you interested in a Kuvasz?
If you have NOT spent time with an adult kuvasz, how far would you be willing to travel to meet some?
How much research have you done on the breed?
Have you read our club's on-line brochure "Presenting the Kuvasz",
http://hbalaw.com/KFA/present.htmWhat questions and concerns do you have about their guarding temperament?
What animals do you currently have in your home and on your property?
What breeds of dogs have you owned, lived in
your home, or cared for in the past
and what happened to them?
Have you ever bred a litter?
Are you interested in breeding?
How many people are in your household, what
are the ages of any children?
Is there a lot of activity in your home
(playmates, guests, workers?)?
Is your yard completely fenced?
If your yard is NOT completely fenced, do you have a completely fenced
enclosure
(such as a smaller yard, or dog run)?
If you have no fencing, do not bother to submit this application.
For the safety of the dog and your community, KFA Rescue will not place a dog in
a home
without a secure and fenced enclosure for the dog.
What are the approximate dimensions of your yard and/or the dog enclosure?
What are the fences made of?
From a dog’s viewpoint, what can you see looking out your fence?
Will the dog be inside or outside?

be alone?

What type of activities would you like to do
with your Kuvasz?
Do you have a preference for male or female?
Do you have a preference for a dog within a certain age range?
Often we don't know the origin or background of a dog. Sometimes all we can tell for sure is that it's a Big White Dog. Would you consider a mix or a dog with an unknown background?
Would the Kuvasz be a working livestock guard
dog or family companion?
Would you take your Kuvasz to a group obedience
class?
If you rent is it OK if we contact your landlord?
Landlord's name, address, and phone number:
If you have owned a pet within the past 5 years, may we contact your veterinarian for information?
If yes, please provide the name, address and phone number of your vet and advise the office we have your permission to talk to them.
Would it be OK if one of our representatives conducted a home visit prior to placing a dog with you?
Are you willing to pay for transportation for
a Kuvasz or make a donation to Kuvasz Fanciers of America Rescue?
