The Komondor

Komondor

The Komondor was initially brought to Hungary by nomads to protect their sheep and is still used for that purpose today. The earliest account of this breed is from the 16th century. The dog is said to be related to some Russian breeds and is a descendent of Tibetan dogs.

The Komondor is still used to guard flocks in his native country. The dog lives outside for most of his life and his genetic development of physical characteristics has presented the heavy coat for his protection. The Komondor is used as a guard dog in the United States.

These dogs are marvellous watchdogs but can need a very specialized environment for their ideal growth and enjoyment.

The Komondor is a very large dog with an amazingly beautiful white coat that hangs majestically to the ground in cords. The dog makes an impressive show dog because of its size and the majestic physical features.

The corded white coat acts as camouflage for the dog when he is acting as a defender for the vulnerable sheep in his care. The coat also protects him from the claws and teeth of attackers. The world took notice of this breed around 1920 when it was first presented in dog shows.

Characteristics of the Komondor include a huge frame and imposing strength. The Komondor can weigh up to 125 lbs and have a height of up to 27 inches. The females of this breed weigh on an average of 70-85 lbs.
