This very old breed of Hungarian Shepherd Dogs is believed to be of Asian origin. Although his origins are not officially known, some say he arrived with the Magyars in Hungary towards the end of the 11th century.
His primitive ancestors, having accompanied this ancient nomadic people that relied on cattle breeding, lived at that time in the plain bounded by the Carpathian mountains, extending over the territories of Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Poland, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Serbia and Romania.
It was in 1960 that the standard was established and the FCI recognized the breed. He is an excellent herdsman; protective, and very efficient against predators such as wolves and bears. Today, as a companion dog, he has retained his primitive instincts of guarding and protecting his territory.
