Kuvasz Fanciers of America

Kuvasz Fanciers of America, Inc. a California Non-Profit Corporation, and IRS 501(c)(3) charity, was founded in 1985 in response to the degeneration of correct Kuvasz type in North America. KFA is dedicated not just to the preservation and promotion of the authentic Hungarian Kuvasz, but also to the support of ethical breeder conduct, rescue of Kuvaszok in distress, public education, and sponsorship of Kuvasz events and activities. KFA's volunteer rescue network has been instrumental in rescuing, rehabilitating and finding new homes for abandoned, abused and other victimized Kuvaszok. Most of these dogs are happy, healthy, attractive animals who adapt rapidly and with gratitude to loving new owners.

All of these activities are supported by donations, the sale of Kuvasz Collectibles, fundraising Kuvasz events, and commissions from sales through links on our website.

Kuvasz Fanciers of America believes that the Hungarian Kuvasz should remain true to its heritage and destiny. Many breeds have been so altered by show ring ambitions and breeder ego that they no longer resemble their ancestors and cannot be used for the tasks they originally performed. With public awareness and concern, we can prevent this from happening to the Kuvasz. Driven to near extinction by two World Wars and a revolution, the Kuvasz was salvaged by a handful of courageous Hungarian fanciers determined to save their national breed for posterity. KFA believes that we owe a debt of gratitude to those who preserved this remarkable dog, a living messenger from ages past and mysterious civilizations forever gone. We hope that you will join us in our continuing efforts to protect the ancient, noble and beautiful Hungarian Kuvasz!
