The Komondor

Background

The Komondor was brought to Hungary by Cumans (Turkish speaking nomads), during the 12th century. The name “Komondor” derives from Koman-dor meaning “Cuman dog.”  The breed was used as a flock-guarding dog. Normally he would guard cattle. His job wasn’t to herd, it was only to protect and guard them from thieves and predators.
