The Komondor dog descended from Tibetan dogs and was brought to Hungary by nomadic Magyars about one thousand years ago. This breed was developed to be a flock guardian, but not a herder. The Komondor was expected to guard large herds of animals alone and without commands from its master. The combination of this devotion and the desire to take responsibility creates an excellent guardian of herds or home. These dogs are vigilant, courageous, and faithful.
