The Komondor, or Hungarian sheepdog, is unforgettable for its size and dramatic corded coat. These heavy dogs can top one hundred pounds, yet they are surprisingly agile. Bred to guard sheep in Hungary, they are famous for strength and protective instincts. Their coat forms natural cords, creating a dreadlock look that shields them from weather and predators. Despite their size, Komondors are gentle with family and very patient. Their coat needs special care to stay clean and healthy. They are intelligent but independent, so they need steady training from experienced owners.
