History
This breed is a native sheepdog brought to Hungary around 1,000 years ago by the nomadic Magyars. The Komondor is descended from various Asian sheepdogs, including the Tibetan Mastiff. This dog has long been used to protect the flocks from wolves and bears and to chase away other pests.

This dog is not very affectionate, but is loyal and devoted to his owner and gentle with children. The Komondor is a rustic breed that needs vigorous exercise. He is a superb guard dog, protecting the flock and the home with unfailing courage and daring. This dog will fight to the death to protect his owner. When he attacks, it is in determined silence. Particularly firm training is required for this breed.
Advice
