About
The Komondor is one of Hungary's ancient herding breeds, descended from dogs that accompanied the nomadic Magyars into the Carpathian Basin. Its huge, powerful frame is covered in long, dense ivory cords, giving it a commanding presence that inspires respect and even awe. An unwavering guardian of flock, home and territory, suspicious of intruders and active at night, it demands experienced handling, and its corded coat requires distinctive, labor-intensive care.
