The Hungarian Komondor is a strong and powerful breed of guardian sheepdog draped in chunks of white dread like “cords.” Due to its physical attributes and exceptional instinctive consciousness, the Komondor breed is a natural guardian of livestock and property. Discover more about our Komondor puppies for sale below!
The Komondor was brought to Europe between the 12th and 13th Centuries by Turkic speaking nomadic Cumans. Komondors are descendants of Tibetan dogs. Historical data speculates that they originate from an area close to the Yellow River. During the second world war, the Komondor breed neared extinction.
They were hunted down by German and Russian forces who sought to occupy the farmlands and property of Hungarians.
Since the breed is an instinctive guardian, its defensive tendencies were albeit problematic to the invading forces. This prompted the large-scale reduction of their population during the second world war.
The Komondor was primarily bred for the defense of livestock. Its temperament has a stack resemblance with most guard dogs; at a first look, they appear furry, cuddly, and calm, but when there’s a potential threat to the livestock or property they’re guarding, they snap into an attacking defensive mode.
The Komondor breed is bred to function independently and can make decisions on their own. Komondors are notably affectionate with the family they protect; they can also show affection to children and friends of their family as long as there’s no perceived imminent threat to its handlers.

The Komondor is a natural athlete. They’re large, agile and athletic dog breeds that require space to perform physical activities that will keep them healthy and happy.
A fenced yard with lots of space is an ideal location for them to perform their daily exercise routine. Dog parks might be ideal for some Dog breeds, but they’re a terrible idea for Komondors.
The guardian instinct of Komondors kicks in when they see other dogs, so they usually profile other dogs as potential threats and this could lead to some confusion at the Dog park.
Grooming the Komondor cords are like grooming dreadlocks. Adequate care must be taken to keep them clean, healthy and free from smell. At 9 to 10 months you’ll notice that the furry coat starts to clump up, you’re required to separate/split them into areas that will eventually grow out into cords.
To prevent smells, regular shampoo should be diluted and used to bathe the Komondor. Ensure you rinse out every bit of shampoo and dry out the cords. Placing the Komondor in a windy area or before a large fan will aid in drying the cords.
If you fail to rinse every bit of shampoo off the Cord of your Komondor or leave the coat incompletely dry, the result will be “a big old dog with a bad smell.”

The Komondor’s instinct is to guard its territory against Intruders. The Komondor makes its deductions on who is a part of a family and who is an intruder.

Komondors are natural guard dogs, they’re built to independently defend the homes against Intruders, so they usually bark when they perceive imminent danger, their barks pack a mean punch!
Komondors are mostly energetic as puppies; However, as adults, they shed off their inquisitive puppy nature and focus on the job of guarding the household. It is recommended that you take your adult Komondor for walks twice or thrice daily.
Komondors don’t have any particular diseases common to them, However, they’re susceptible to diseases large dogs encounter. Health issues like gastric torsion and bloat are a few of the common health problems a dog of its size might encounter.
After bathing Komondors, it takes about half a day to fully dry with the aid of fans or dryers. If the dog isn’t fully dry, the smell can be pretty terrible.
