It is believed that the Komondor is a descendant of the Tibetan dog, and it was brought to Hungary by nomadic Magyars a thousand years ago, in order to guard flocks of sheep. However archaeological evidence suggests that the Komondor was, in actual fact, the dog of the Cumans, or Komans, from light yellow or pallid, who were a Turkic speaking community that lived close to the eastern bend of the Yellow River in what is now China. The Russian Owtcharka was the original dog that had long legs and a wooly coat which enabled it to blend in with the flocks that it was protecting. This breed was valued so much by the shepherds that they did not allow interbreeding. The Komondor, whose plural is Komondorok, was a great foe to enemies of the flock and it is legendary that it eliminated the wolf from Hungary

Between them they hunt and kill a wide variety of other animals, ranging in size from small lizards and birds to large antelopes. They don’t just eat the meat or muscle, but consume all, or almost all, of their prey, including the skin, hair or feathers, and the internal organs such as liver kidneys and intestines.

 The bearded collie is a breed which has evolved naturally over the centuries, not one that has been created in the relatively recent years, like those such as the Golden Retriever and the Doberman.

There is in actual fact very little information on this breed from that period until the 20th century.
