The Unique Komondor: Hungary's National Treasure Herding Dog
The Komondor is large - bodied. Males are usually over 71 centimeters in length, about 70 centimeters in shoulder height, and around 45 kilograms in weight. Females are 69 centimeters long, with a shoulder height of about 64 centimeters and a weight of around 36 kilograms. Its most typical feature is the dense, cord - like white coat. In puppyhood, the coat may have a little cream or light yellow color, which fades as it matures. As the dog ages, the coat gradually turns gray because Komondors don't shed easily, and dirt like dust tends to get trapped in their fur.

This breed originated in Hungary in the 9th century and is regarded as the king of Hungarian livestock - guarding dogs. It is naturally vigilant against strangers, loyal and brave. It can fight against wolves and protect livestock from wild dogs or human thieves. It is an excellent guarding dog and can also serve as a companion dog. The Komondor is also used for performance purposes and has won the highest awards in many competitions.

 

However, due to its large size and high training requirements, it is generally not recommended as a pet dog. Moreover, it is banned in cities in countries such as Ukraine, Belarus, and China. But in Hungary, it is a symbol of the country. Hungary even named its domestic armored vehicle after the Komondor.
