Komondor

Dog breed profile

The Komondor is a historic Hungarian breed originally developed to guard livestock against predators. Its distinctive long, corded coat provides natural protection and camouflage among sheep. Known for being loyal and protective, Komondors are calm with their families but reserved around strangers. Their independent nature means they benefit from consistent, patient training and early socialization. Grooming is a significant commitment due to the unique coat requiring regular maintenance to prevent matting. This breed thrives in homes with ample outdoor space and experienced owners who appreciate its guarding instincts and moderate exercise needs.
