How much work is it to groom a Komondor?

How do Komondors achieve their mopish looks? Well they aren’t born that way. However, the coat will get this look naturally if the breeder “neglects” it. This is the secret of the unique coat of the Komondor.

Couple of key things we must remember not to do:

  • Do not brush, use comb.
  • Do not trim the coat.
  • Do not wash the coat too often.

Komondor’s coat naturally sticks together creating the look of a mop. Just like the Rasta hair.

Certainly, the coat should not be neglected. It has to be kept clean. None the less, the original Hungarian Komondor’s hair isn’t always clean as they are working flock dogs. The coat can get dark and have a grayish look.
