The komondor breed

  The komondor is a large working dog that is native to Hungary. It is used to guard sheep and has also been used for police work and military services. The komondor stands about 28 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs about 90 pounds. It has medium-sized, hanging ears and a long tail that is usually carried ín a low curve. The komondor's pure white coat is long, dense, and woolly. There are very few komondors in the United States.
  The Komondor breed was brought to Europe by the Cumans and it was mentioned for the first time in 1544 in a Hungarian codex. This breed of dog has been declared one of Hungary’s national treasures, to be preserved and protected from modification.
