Flock Guardian breeds carry their role as a full-time job. Most breeds are raised around the flocks they protect from an early age and take protecting their flock seriously. Able to blend in with their flocks, they often bark to chase away predators. They have strong instincts to protect their flock and herd them, and may attack predators they cannot drive away with their vocal intimidation.



The Komondor, also known as the Hungarian sheepdog, is a large, white-coloured Hungarian breed of livestock guardian dog with a long, corded coat.

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

The Komondor is built for livestock guarding. Its temperament is like that of most livestock guarding dogs; it is calm and steady when things are normal, but, in case of trouble, the dog will fearlessly defend its charges. It was bred to think and act independently and make decisions on its own. The Flock Guardian Casso aims to help this wonderful breed gain at least 0 total new registrations over the course of this month (without losing any in the process to retirement).
