The most striking feature of the Komondor is its long, corded coat, which develops naturally as the dog matures. The cords provide protection from harsh weather and predator attacks.

Komondors are large dogs, with males typically standing 27.5 inches or taller and females 25.5 inches or taller. They can weigh between 80 to 100 pounds or more.

The breed is always white, although the coat may appear slightly cream-colored due to dirt.

Komondors are known for their protective nature. They are natural guardians, fiercely loyal to their families, and can be wary of strangers.

They are intelligent but can be independent and strong-willed, requiring firm and consistent training.

Despite their imposing appearance, Komondors are affectionate with their families and can be gentle companions.

The Komondor originated in Hungary, where it was bred to guard livestock. It has a history dating back over a thousand years, with roots possibly linked to Tibetan dogs brought to Hungary by nomadic tribes.

The breed is recognized by major kennel clubs, including the American Kennel Club (AKC), which classifies it in the Working Group.

The corded coat requires special care to prevent matting and to keep the cords clean. Regular maintenance is essential.

Komondors need regular exercise to maintain their physical and mental health. They thrive in environments where they can roam and guard.
Health: Generally healthy, but like many large breeds, they can be prone to hip dysplasia and bloat. Regular veterinary check-ups are important.
