Sometimes referred to as 'mop dogs' due to their appearance, the Komondors are a long-established[3] dog breed commonly employed to guard livestock and other property. The Komondor was brought to Europe by the Cumans[4] and the oldest known mention of it is in a Hungarian codex from 1544.[3] The Komondor breed has been declared one of Hungary’s national treasures, to be preserved and protected from modification.[5]
