A very important difference between the Goldador and the Kuvasz is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Goldador is a large-sized dog while the Kuvasz is a giant-sized dog.

Furthermore, the Goldador belongs to the Hybrid Dogs group. Hybrid Dogs are the offspring of 2 or more known, but different, dog breeds.
