Yukon

Meet Yukon, a lively and affectionate almost one-year-old Kuvasz from Asheville, NC, whose big personality matches his equally big, fluffy frame. With his striking white coat and expressive face that says it all—whether he’s excited, curious, or just trying to convince you it’s playtime—Yukon is a joyful companion ready to find his next loving home!

This playful boy thrives on movement and adventure. He loves squeaky toys, chasing after balls, and running laps like he’s training for a marathon! Given his breed’s natural protective instincts and intelligence, he’s both energetic and deeply loyal, making him a fantastic guardian and best friend. He already knows "sit" and "wait," but he’s still young and would benefit from consistent training using patience and positive reinforcement.

Yukon has a big heart but isn’t the biggest fan of being left alone—especially in his crate. He’ll do best with a family that can provide him with companionship, structure, and plenty of exercise to keep both his body and mind engaged. He can be a little too enthusiastic when it comes to cats, sometimes chasing or playfully pestering them, so a feline-free home may be best. Unknown visitors make him a little wary at first, but with proper introductions, he quickly warms up.

With his thick coat, Yukon requires weekly brushing and the occasional bath, especially after a day of outdoor fun. He’s microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find a home with plenty of space to roam—whether it’s a big backyard or a countryside retreat where he can stretch his legs to his heart’s content!

If you are looking for an intelligent and devoted companion, Yukon is more than ready to be your new best friend. Reach out to learn more about bringing Yukon into your family!
