origins
The origin of the Slovensky Cuvac is identical to that of other mountain shepherds, for example, that of the Polski Owczarek Podhalanski and the Kuvasz. His Book of Origins was created in 1929 in Brno by Professor Antonin Hruza, lecturer at the Veterinary School. The basic material for breeding came from villages of the Upper Tatra, the first kennel was called ze zlate studny = from the golden fountain and was located in Svitavy. The Carpathian bloodline was created by the kennel ze Hoverly = from Hoverla. The Slovensky Cuvac gained international recognition in 1969.
