Frosty

Emek Hayarden Etéd Frosty was born on November 16, 2021, belongs to our 4th litter, and is the son of our Nina Prince of the Dogs (Brazilian, Argentine, Uruguayan, and American Champion) and Lofranco’s Zar of Gem-Mar, bred by Darla Lofranco.

Darla, who sadly passed away last year, was the founder of Lofranco Kennels in Canada and dedicated over 40 years to breeding the Kuvasz. She was one of the pioneers who traveled to communist Hungary in the 1980s to establish ties with the most renowned and respected Kuvasz breeders of the time. With remarkable foresight, Darla preserved Zar’s semen, frozen more than 24 years ago (1997).

Zar’s ancestors came from kennels that formed the foundation of important Kuvasz bloodlines in Hungary, which have since disappeared or been diluted over time. His parents, Kurucz Bátor (male) and Gödöllőkert Avar Tisza (female), were imported by Darla to Canada and became pillars of her kennel. Zar, in turn, carries the heritage of notable Kuvaszok such as Budagyöngye Pancser, Római Fürdői Bátor, Jászszépe Cuki, Gödöllőkerti Avar Maros, Gödöllőkerti Avar Gazsi, Gödöllőkert Avar Gyopár, Jászszépe Kasztor, Jászszépe Fanni, among others.

Along with Frosty’s pedigree, we also present the pedigrees of his sire, Zar, and his grandparents, Kurucz Bátor and Gödöllőkert Avar Tisza, historical documents that attest to this lineage.

This litter is the direct result of friendship, cooperation, trust, and the combined efforts of Kuvasz enthusiasts in Canada, the United States, and Brazil, who are deeply committed to the breed’s future. In early 2021, we entrusted Nina to Brian, Mary, and Caroline Clegg in the United States. The Clegg family has a long history with the Kuvasz breed and honored us by presenting Nina and her puppy with Nádas-Kincse Delceg Gege, Emek Hayarden Cudar, at the Kuvasz Club of America Specialty and other shows in 2021. Both Nina and Cudar achieved excellent results, earning American Champion titles by the American Kennel Club. Cudar now lives permanently with the Clegg family.

Taking advantage of Nina’s stay in the United States, we decided together to inseminate her with Zar’s semen, stored at the International Canine Semen Bank (ICSB) in Atlanta. The Clegg family embraced the project and coordinated every stage of the insemination process. Emek Hayarden Etéd Frosty Lofranco is the result of this partnership. Etéd represents the possibility of recovering a bloodline that may enrich the limited genetic pool of the Kuvasz breed today.
