Our dogs are raised in a caring environment with early socialization to help them thrive in their future homes. We strive to produce well-balanced companions for active and committed families. We believe that not enough emphasis is put into prioritizing the intelligence in the selection of breeding dogs. This is equally important as health testing and conformation. Too many breeds have seen a dumbing down effect that is a great disservice to working breeds.

The Hungarian Pumi

The Hungarian Pumi is an intelligent, energetic herding breed developed in Hungary for working livestock on farms and in open fields. Known for its distinctive curly coat, upright ears, and lively expression, the Pumi is a highly alert and agile dog that thrives when it has both mental and physical work to do.

Pumis are exceptionally trainable and form strong bonds with their families. They are quick learners with a playful, engaging personality that makes them well suited for active homes. Because of their working background, they excel in activities such as obedience, agility, rally, herding, and other dog sports that challenge both mind and body.

At Szabo Kennel, we focus on preserving the true working character and sound temperament of the Hungarian Pumi. Our dogs are raised with early socialization and careful attention to health and structure, with the goal of producing well-balanced companions suited for active families and dedicated dog enthusiasts.

The Hungarian Kuvasz

The Kuvasz is a powerful and noble livestock guardian breed originating in Hungary, where it was historically used to protect flocks and property. This large, white-coated breed is known for its courage, loyalty, and calm confidence when working independently in the field.

While the Kuvasz is gentle and deeply devoted to its family, it also has strong guardian instincts and a natural protective nature. This breed is best suited for experienced owners who understand livestock guardian dogs or large working breeds. When properly raised and socialized, the Kuvasz is a steady, reliable companion with a quiet but watchful presence.

At Szabo Kennel, we are committed to preserving the authentic temperament and structure of the Kuvasz. Our breeding program emphasizes health, stability, and correct working instincts, ensuring that each puppy reflects the breed’s historic role as a dependable guardian and loyal family protector.
