The breed record

Across 119 single-size large breeds, a lifespan midpoint of 11 years is about 1.6 years shorter than the 12.6-year average. The weight standard gives a floor and no published maximum.

The listed origin is Hungary. The coat is described as corded, long. The AKC energy score is 3 out of 5, 0.7 points below the group average of 3.7 for the Working Group. Shedding scores 1 out of 5, so loose hair is limited. Grooming scores 4 out of 5, so a professional schedule is realistic. Trainability scores 4 out of 5, which is a biddable score. Good with children scores 3 out of 5. Good with other dogs scores 2 out of 5. AKC ranked this breed number 185 in 2025.

Adult size is usually reached in up to 24 months (size-band statement (Salt et al. 2017): larger breeds require up to 24 months). AKC parent-club recommended health screenings: Hip Evaluation, Ophthalmologist Evaluation, and Dentition Exam. These are screening tests, not a list of diseases the breed is guaranteed to develop.
