I have a hovawart named Kobe and he's hands down the best dog I've ever owned. He's super gentle around kids and he's really good at letting me know if a stranger is present. Plus he does this adorable thing where if I'm eating something on the couch he will lay his head on the couch and just give me those puppy eyes. Literally melts my heart. Can't get him too riled up otherwise he starts throwing paws.
What a delightful surprise to see my beautiful boy, Gunther at 1:19 ! Very devoted, intelligent, vigilant, and strong willed individual. Forever in my heart.
I have lived with one of these big, faithful and noble Hovawarts for about 12.5 years in our home with his first 10 puppy months having spent with three short-tirm owners already. So my Hovi became 13.5 years old altogether. It took him half of his life to get rid of his youngster`s high energy level. We had become best of friends over time. To put it right, Hovawarts are not stubborn, they are souvereign, a fearless and kind breed. Never punish a Hovawart, this will ruin the precious bond you share. Once a Hovawart trusts you, he touches your heart and makes you rich. This is magical, hard to explain. - And when your Hovawart is gone, nothing comes close, not even the best GSDs, and these truly are good and noble in character.
Let's hear it for all the original Hovawart owners who let us use their images/clips in the video. Check out more of their content on their respective Instagram profiles. What do you like the most about Hovawarts? Let us know in the comments!🐕
Such a spot on video as I have one of these at home. Actually the one at my home is a daughter of Kusti who appears in the video, so yeay so awesome to see dad in video! And I just had to laugh out loud at that warning in bullet 4...so true :D
That is an insane unhealthy weight for a Hovawart. They need to be around 40-50 for males. Any more and there in trouble and I doubt they'd actually meet breed standards. Probably wasn't from a breeder
When I read this I also thought that the weight you mentioned was much too heavy. Maybe you mixed it up? My male Hovi used to be between 40 and 45kg yet it would have been even better and healthier if he`d been even below 40kg. His last four years he suffered from arthritis (pain in the joints). So the less weight the better.
My sister bought a puppy out in LA county a couple years ago looking for a German Shepard and we ended up with little gunny it’s nice to finally see what she is and where she comes from
I had a hovawart. She was a gift to me by my husband. She was so cute and became a model. She was my own baby. When my only child got born she became my child bedst friend. She leaved fir 19 years.
Anyone with experience with these dogs, how would you say they compare to LGDs (like a maramma or pyranees for example) in stubbornness and biddability Would you say they are less stubborn or about the same, more or less eager to please?
I have a chocolate hovawart and I’ve also learned there’s a short haired breed they are short haired but it’s thick and that’s what I have says the papers from the vet on her recent blood culture test

I had an ideal, noble, gentle but protetive, loyal, athletic, amazing Hovawart who lived for 15 years. Not long enough! And everyone loved him!

I think I’ve found my next family dog. It’s beautiful, a good guard dog, and has a rich history. What I also like is that they are not that common.

I remember growing up with a hovawart male called Dingo
He was huge around 70 kg, but he was super gently to everyone 😊🙏⚰

He was 1/4 cane corso, so he was super buff, but insanely gentle
@@maniac6666 Aha, a Cane Corso is more massive as far as I know.
@@Tiomofee indeed.
He looked like a pure Hovawart, but just bigger.
He still had the same gentle mindset and loved kids and other dogs

Cool
Hovawarts are considered large - not medium - sized dogs. Males are 85-100 lbs.

one of these almost tore my thumb off and bit my arm pretty bad, thought it was a giant golden retriever all this time.
Супер 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I have a Freya greetings from Bavaria Germany 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
i have one in the US!
my hovawart barks at huge rocks in the backyard

"Odie does the bone dance" I am pretty sure shows a hovawart

This isn't actually how you pronounce this breed's name.
Wart should be more pronounced like heart. It seems to be difficult for English speakers not to say wort.
Bruto apenas se ven los perros
A large protective and great guard dog with a family dog's body and temperament. Could be the perfect dog.
