For many centuries in Hungary, in its cattle-breeding areas. there were three species of shepherd dogs, the most famous of which are the commander dogs. They are considered almost direct descendants of the shepherd, which Hungarian tribes during migration discovered in the south of ancient Russia, in the steppes.
Dogs commander - strong and powerful animals. Their height at the withers reaches 80 centimeters, and the voluminous and thick woolen coat visually increases the already impressive size of the giant.
This is a shepherd breed of dog. The commander refers to those animals with which you just can’t walk along the street - if you feel the danger, without hesitation, he will rush into battle, protecting the owner. True, it is difficult to imagine a daredevil who dares to approach such a formidable friend of man.
Dogs commander are so fearless that they are not at all embarrassed by the size of the enemy. They will fight to death, even if they are superior in strength. This quality has been developed in them for centuries. Since then, when they were used as protectors, flocks of sheep from forest predators.
This is an amazing dog breed! The commander (the photos presented in the article will help to make an idea of the exterior of the four-legged friend) has a thick coat that grows all his life. It is gradually formed into long “dreadlocks” that cannot be combed. But the owner will have to divide it into strands - otherwise the wool simply falls off. Fully "dreadlocks" will form only by two years. These animals are not combed with brushes, but only with their hands they divide the wool into cords.
It is necessary to bathe such a giant no more than twice a year, using special shampoos. An unusual coat allows the dog to easily tolerate cold and bad weather. Wool creates the effect of a thermos - the animal does not freeze in winter and does not suffer too much from the summer heat. Its coat is so dense that it is difficult to injure an animal even with knives.
By existing standards, dogs can have a single commander - white. Puppies are born with cream-colored wavy hair . The appearance of the coat changes completely by nine months, then the color changes, and dreadlocks begin to form.
Everyone who wants to get such a puppy should know that this dog is not intended for an apartment. She must live in a private house with a large yard. The commander will not be able to walk on a leash along the sidewalk - he needs freedom! The dog must run and frolic in plenty to be in good physical shape.
In the familiar dog environment, the commander is quite peaceful animals, very affectionate with the owners. They are ideal nannies for children. Animals are distinguished by their solid character, and therefore must be brought up in severity. Even at a very young age, the puppy will try to outwit the owner and establish its order. But when he realizes that this did not work, he will unconditionally accept the rules of conduct in his new home, and will never violate them. Dogs commander are very smart, they perfectly understand their master not only from a half-word, but also from a half-view. And her devotion is limitless ... Therefore, we can conclude that this dog will become a true friend for you - faithful, kind and devoted.
