The Kuvasz is a large and powerful dog: dogs stand some {{nobreak|71–76 cm}} at the [[withers]], with weights in the range {{nobreak|48–62 kg}}; bitches may stand {{nobreak|66–70 cm}} and weigh {{nobreak|37–50 kg}}.{{r|fci2}}

The coat is white or ivory-white; it is thick and coarse, with a soft undercoat. The skin is slate-grey; the tip of the nose, the lips and the rims of the eyes are black, and the pads of the paws are black or slate-grey.{{r|jan|page=92|fci2}}

The head is wedge-shaped; the muzzle is slightly less than half the full length of the head, and the [[wikt:stop|stop]] is slight. The eyes are almond-shaped, dark brown, and slightly slanted.{{r|fci2}}

Although generally a healthy and robust breed which can be expected to live approximately 12–14 years, the Kuvasz is prone to developmental bone problems.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.kuvasz.com/kuvasz/health.htm |title=Kuvasz Club of America – Kuvasz Health<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2006-09-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060831223113/http://www.kuvasz.com/kuvasz/health.htm |archive-date=2006-08-31 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
