Is it a dog? Is it a bear? It’s the Hungarian komondor! – VIDEOS

If you are not familiar with the Hungarian dog breed komondor, just imagine a puli on steroids. Komondor is a white-coloured Hungarian breed of livestock guardian dog with a long, dreadlock-like coat, similar to that of the puli’s.

Pulis and komondors have a similar exterior, but the komondor has long legs, and it is also much larger than the puli. The komondor is one of the largest dogs, some are over 30 inches tall.

We have already posted interesting videos of two world-famous Hungarian dog breeds: the puli and the vizsla. This time, we are going further back in time, and take a closer look at one of the oldest breeds of dogs found in Hungary: the komondor.

Dogs 101 – Komondor

Animal Planet’s Youtube Chanel has a very useful series called Dogs 101, which has made an appearance in the previous two articles as well. Luckily, they also made a video about the komondor. Did you know that this dog has the heaviest fur? Or that a single komondor can have over 2,000 dreadlock-like cords? You can watch the info-packed clip below.

We can also learn from this clip that Komondors have this all-white dreadlock-like fur because it served as a camouflage when they were protecting sheep. They blended in perfectly well with the sheep, and they could suddenly attack the hungry wolves who had absolutely no clue that a guarding dog is present.
