Best Answer

The Komondor is descended from Tibetan dogs. Some think the Komondor was brought to Hungary a thousand years ago by nomadic Magyars to to guard large herds of cattle and sheep. However, newer studies show they came from the Cumans. The name, "Komondor", came from the name, Koman-dor, meaning, dog of the Cumans. Komondor remains have been found in Cuman grave sites. The earliest written reference is from the 16th century. The breed spread throughout the rest of the world beginning in 1920 when they began to compete in dog shows. The Komondor, still to this day, lives for many months outdoors in all kinds of weather, as they protect their master's flocks. They do not herd the flock, but rather protect them, primarily without any human assistance. The breed was recognized by the AKC in 1937.
