Brought to Hungary in the 14th Century by the Cumins to guard
flocks of sheep, the imposing Komondor is still used for that
purpose today. The earliest written reference is from the 16th
century. The working Komondor can live for many months of the year
outdoors in all kinds of weather, protecting his master's flocks
without assistance. In the United States, the
Komondor is
primarily a home guard and companion, and livestock guard dog.
