Komondorok can be good companions to children in their own family, but may have difficulty accepting visiting children. They're best suited to homes with older children who understand how to interact with dogs. Always supervise Komondorok when they're with children, and never leave them alone with young children. They're livestock guardians, not babysitters.

Even when exposed to them often, Komondorok are generally not fond of other dogs. They do best in a single-dog home but can learn to get along with cats. They're always pleased to have livestock to guard. That is, after all, their purpose in life.
