Good to know
- Livestock guardian: bred in Hungary to protect sheep from wolves and thieves, they are naturally protective and wary of strangers.
- Corded coat: the dense white coat forms long felted cords; it is never brushed, but the cords must be separated by hand and take a long time to dry after bathing.
- Independent thinker: bred to make decisions alone, they need firm, consistent training and early socialization.
- A job to do: they watch over their home and family, and their protective instinct is strong.
- A low-shedding coat. Some people with allergies find that easier to live with, but no breed is allergen-free.
Getting out with a Komondor
Daily walks and some play keep them content. A mix of park time and easy trails suits them.
