The Komondor is a breed of large, livestock guardian dogs famously referred to as “Mop Dogs” because of their long, white, and corded coat. They originated from Hungary and do not suffer from many hereditary related health problems. Despite this, it is still important to keep them healthy. Here are some tips in keeping your Komondor in tiptop shape:
Like in all large breeds, the Komondor is prone to joint dislocation particularly of the hip. To prevent this from happening, it is important to avoid them from being obese or overweight because increase in size would cause additional pressure to the joints. Avoid giving extremely high protein and carbohydrate foods and daily exercise through brisk walking would be beneficial in maintaining the dog’s weight.
Another health issue of the Komondor is bloat or the overstretching of the stomach caused by gas build up. This condition can be prevented by giving small meals throughout the day rather than one big meal. Exercise should be avoided before and after feeding.
Because of their dreadlocks-like coat, hair care is necessary. It must be noted that their coats should NOT be brushed or combed but rather divided into cords and trimmed. They are also prone to tick and flea infestation. Use of anti-flea and anti-tick preparations however should be approved by the veterinarian because the Komondor’s skin is extremely sensitive and may cause hair discoloration. It is best to do a spot test where a small amount is applied and observed for side effects.
Hair between the pads of the Komondors feet should be trimmed to avoid irritation and infection. It should also be done to the ear hairs to promote air circulation.
Regular check ups with the vet is never a bad thing. Make sure to note to have their eyelids checked because there is a possibility of entropion or the inversion of the eyelids that causes eye irritation.
We can see in this video three gorgeous Komondor bitches, while playing in the yard. Komondors have very unique, corded coat which requires weekly care. It is interesting to see three of these beauties in one place. Actually, Komondors have the heaviest amount of fur, amongst the sheepdogs. The older a Komondor is, the longer his coat gets.
I would say yes, if you would like to have a dog that is devoted, loyal and is a natural guardian of the whole family. Komondors are very calm and friendly when things are normal, but can become slightly aggressive and overprotective when they think that something or someone is endangering their family or their property. During defending or work these dogs tend to make decisions on their own that they think is the best. They like children and other dogs, pets in the family.
The Komondor have a corded, long and soft white coat that requires frequent, at least weekly care. They have a very sensitive skin, so special treatment is advised when you want to bathe the dog. Another important thing to take care of is the pads of the feet, because long hair can grow between the pads and this should be trimmed to prevent problems.
Training of the Komondor is relatively easy as this dog is very intelligent, but the trainer has to be calm, consistent yet heavy-handed, as Komondors are usually willful and independent. Early socialization and obediencetraining is a must for this breed.
All in all, these dogs are perfect for families living in the suburban areas as they naturally love big places and require large yards to play and run. Therefore they are not advised for city or apartment life. They are active when it comes to defending their property or play, but are usually lazy so one hour a day is enough for some fun.
I hope this short article will help you decide whether the Komondor is the perfect dog for you.

- The Komondor is a very ancient breed: the earliest written reference is from the 16th century.
- The origins still aren’t perfectly clear: some studies suggest that it was brought to Hungary by the nomad Magyars, while other researchers say that they came from the Cumans, and that is where it got its name from. The Encyclopedia Britannica proves the first version.
- The original role of the breed is to guard livestocks and it is still used fro this purpose nowadays.
- The breed began to take part in dog shows from the early 1920’s.
The Komondor is one of the most well-known Hungarian sheep dogs. Its role was to protect the flock against predators. One of its most typical characteristics is its white, strinkingly corded coat. The practical use of this is the following:
- the shepherd could easily recognize the dog, and didn’t confuse it with the sheep
- this huge fur coat protected him from predators and the changes of weather
We may ask ourselves: still, don’t they feel too hot in this extremely warm “blanket”??
Well, it’s exactly the contrary. His thick coat doesn’t only protect his body from cold weather, but also from too hot one.This is the kind of breed which is easy to fall in love with…
