KOMODOR
History - This breed dates back to 1555 although there is evidence that the breed dates back before then. The first Komondor came to America in 1933 and was recognized by the AKC as a breed in 1937. World War II nearly wiped out the breed in Europe. This is an uncommon breed native to Hungary. Recent attempts to use the dog to guard flocks have found to be promising.
Temperament - This breed is an independent thinker and can be stubborn or domineering. This breed is not for a weak owner and socialization for the dog is essential. It seems happiest when it has something to do or watchover. The Komondor is a natural guardian and will protect children of the same family, but may misunderstand the activity of visiting children.
Upkeep - The Komondor needs to be excercised daily. Swimming is not a good idea because of the type of coat it has. This breed does not like warm weather and prefers the cold climate. The coat on this breed can take up to 1 day to dry and is very time consuming to take care of. Cords on the dogs coat may not form until they are 2 years old.
Size - The male can average 80 pounds and the female 70 pounds. The height in the male can reach 27.5 inches and in the female 25.5 inches and up.
