The Komondor (plural is Komondorok) is a big,
muscular dog with plenty of bone and substance, covered with an
unusually, heavy, white corded coat which resembles an
old-fashioned string mop. Puppies are white and fluffy and tend
to form cords at about 3 to 4 months of age. He is very strong
and agile for his size. A hardy, healthy dog he can tolerate
changing temperatures. Keeping the coat of a Komondor is a
challenge and should not be taken lightly. Cords continue to
grow and must be maintained by dividing new hair growth every
two to three months from the skin out to the existing cords. If
not trimmed regularly the coat will reach the ground by the time
he is 6 years old. Another consideration is that coat is always
picking up debris from outside like dirt, leaves, twigs, small
living creatures and this needs to be removed.
