Of the three breeds of working dog native for ten centuries to the sheep and cattle countries of Hungary, there seems little doubt that the king of them all is the Komondor. Many of today's Komondorok bear striking resemblance to the massive, long-legged Russian herdsman's dog.
The Komondor is a flock guardian breed, accompanying the flock and the shepherd as a protector. His vigilance and courage have earned him a rather enviable position of trust.
The Hungarian Kennel Club and the Hungarian Komondor Club maintain a strong control over the interests of the breed, these organizations having accepted the Standard of the breed as drawn up by a committee made up of members of the two clubs. The American Standard for the breed is a translation of the Hungarian.
