Coat Care and Grooming of a Komondor:
To care for this unique breed’s coat you should never brush its hair. Instead gently separate the hair into cords as its gets longer. If you are new to this breed then you may want to have a professional groomer help you, show you, advise you or do this for you. However, meticulous grooming is essential for this breed if you wish to keep it tidy looking and neat. Some owners may spend as much as 2 hours every week just separating the cords so that they don’t mat. You should only bathe your Komondor when necessary and then thoroughly dry the coat (which can take up to 24 hours, with 4 – 8 hours of blow drying!!). The cords can reach the ground when the dog is 6 years old, and this measn more grooming is necessary! Perform nail and teeth cleaning when necessary as well, since that should never be left out of the grooming practice.
