Buda Side Hovawart Kennel

In the summer of 2025, a new chapter began in the life of my kennel. I have long been fascinated by the “old-color” Hovawarts, which represent the original, ancient type of the breed. These are the color varieties originally named by Kurt F. König, the German zoologist who played a key role in breeding of the Hovawart breed. They include the so-called wild colors – wildmarken (wild-marked) and blondmarken (blond-marked) – as well as Berliner blond (a darker golden blond shade), hellblond (light blond), rotblond (dark reddish blond), leo (lion-colored), and also the schwarzmarken (black and gold) and black variants, which have continued to be bred by most Hovawart kennels alongside the blond variety. Only very few kennels breed ancient type Hovawarts today, and most of them are located in Germany. I decided that in the future I would also dedicate my kennel to preserving these “old-colored”. I will breeding Hovawarts, which represent the original, ancient type. I got in touch with Christiane Rogge, the owner of the long-established German “vom Silberberg” kennel. We immediately felt a mutual sympathy during our correspondence. We agreed to mate our dogs in the autumn of 2025. The meeting of blond Buda Side Alinda “Linda” and wildmarken Churchill vom Silberberg “Sir Winston”, alias Winnie took place at the end of October, and the puppies of the Buda Side C-litter arrived just in time for Christmas. My kennel – previously operated within the framework of the FCI – has now joined the OTK, a member organization of the Magyar Kutyások Szövetsége (MKSZ) and the Hungarian member of the World Cynologic-Hunting-Sports Alliance (WCHSA). From now on, puppies born in the Buda Side kennel will be registered in the OTK as HOVAWART /ancient type/. It is both an honor and a source of pride for me that the father of the C-litter is Churchill vom Silberberg “Sir Winston”, a stud dog with such a majestic appearance and excellent qualities, whose family tree traces directly back to the first registered Hovawarts, to the dogs of the German zoologist Kurt F. König, who bred the breed! The lineage of the dogs of the German vom Silberberg kennel (pedigree with photos): https://www.die-hovawart-familie.de/html/unsere_wurzeln_.html
