...The Hovawart is a rare breed in the U.K. They are fairly large, hairy, working dogs originating from Germany.
This is a recreation of a very old breed, the name was lost for many years until Kurt Konig, a geneticist with the Zoo Technic Station, became curious about old German writings that mentioned the 'hofawart'.
He set about trying to find some in the farms in the Oldenburg - Magdiburg areas.
To his amazement there were lots of the correct type of dog around. The farmers just called them the farm dog. He bought quite a few and began breeding, again he was surprised as they bred 'true' with very few exceptions.
That was the start of our 'NEW' Hovawart breed
