The Komondor is a serious dog who loves the outdoors. He can think for himself, since his ancestors usually protected sheep with no people nearby. These qualities mean he does best in a family that knows how to handle a bold dog who needs plenty of room to run.
Komondor breed facts
Descended from Tibetan dogs, the Komondor was brought to Hungary a thousand years ago by nomadic Magyars.
This heavily coated dog is an almost direct descendant of the Aftscharka, which the Huns found on the southern steppes when they passed through Russia. Many of today’s Komondorok (plural) bear striking resemblance to the massive, long-legged Russian herdsman’s dog, but the breed generally has become more compact.
