This dog with an abundant wool - an almost direct descendant of the Shepherds, which Magyar tribes found during migration in the southern steppes of ancient Russia. Many modern Commanders are remarkably similar to the massive, vysokonoguyu southern Russian shepherd dog, while at the same time, he composed more compact.
Commander - a powerful dog. It impresses with its heavy head, and the overall appearance commands respect. A person who is not familiar with the breed, it may become frightened. Indeed, people with ill intentions have to be afraid, but the commander loyal to his master and enjoy communicating with his friends.

Nowadays, there is probably no urgent need for so much independent and self-confident dog, as in the past.

When the power was not on his side, the commander relied on the fur that covered up to a certain extent its most vulnerable points, and the mind is far superior to the intelligence of his wild enemies
