The Komondor is a large, powerful dog breed known for its distinctive long, corded coat, which resembles dreadlocks. Originating from Hungary, these dogs were traditionally used as livestock guardians, protecting sheep from predators. Their impressive size and strength make them effective protectors, and they are known for their loyalty to their families. Despite their imposing appearance, Komondors are generally calm and gentle with their loved ones. They require early socialization and training to ensure they are well-adjusted. Regular grooming is essential to maintain their unique coat, which can become matted if not properly cared for.
