The komondor (pronunciation - KOM-on-door), a descendant of Tibetan dogs, was brought to Hungary a thousand years ago by nomadic Magyars to guard flocks of sheep. The original dog, the Russian owtcharka, was large with long legs and a wooly coat that enabled it to blend in with the flocks it protected. The shepherds valued the breed so much that they did not allow interbreeding. The komondor – whose plural is komondorok – was an effective foe to enemies of the flock and was fabled to have eliminated the wolf from Hungary. The earliest written records of the breed date back to the sixteenth century, although the breed probably existed long before then....... Find out more about this dog breed.
