About the Komondor

The Komondor is one of the most visually striking dog breeds in the world, instantly recognizable by its extraordinary white corded coat that resembles dreadlocks or a living mop. This ancient Hungarian breed was developed centuries ago to guard livestock on the vast Hungarian plains, where their white coat helped them blend in with the sheep they protected. Standing up to 30 inches tall and weighing over 100 pounds, the Komondor is an imposing and powerful guardian.
