Tips on Grooming Your Komondor

    Moderate Maintenance: The coat doesn’t shed much, but the cords must be separated regularly to maintain their look, and the coat does attract dirt. Once a Komondor is past young puppyhood his coat will probably never have its earlier pristine whiteness. The coat should never be dirty, matted, or bad smelling.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Komondor Dog?

    Brushing and combing your dog's hair coat is an essential element of general pet care. Brushing assists to keep your Komondor dog's coat in good condition by taking out loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also helps to distribute healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, promoting a gleaming coat and helping dirt to slide off the hair. This can also help to minimize the need to bath and therefore lessen the regularity of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Komondor dog are activities that help to enhance the good relationship bond between your pet and you. Brushing should be an enjoyable and relaxed experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Komondor

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend upon each individual dog. Dogs tend to contrast in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their latest activities.

    Dogs with short coats typically require much less brushing and grooming contrasted to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more quickly.

    Some very short-haired pet dogs may not need traditional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may rather like to try a soft grooming glove to carefully remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Canines should be brushed 'as required'. Owners should keep track of the condition of their dog's coat, searching for any tangles/mats or dullness which indicates they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to several hours a week depending on your type of dog.

Komondor Information

The komondor is a large, muscular dog, with plenty of bone and substance; it is slightly longer than tall. Its gait is light and leisurely, with long strides. Its hallmark coat is double, consisting of a dense wooly undercoat and a coarser outer coat that is wavy or curly. The undercoat is trapped in the outer coat so that it forms strong, felty, tassel-like cords. This coat helped protect the dog from the elements as well as the teeth of tough adversaries. It also helped the dog to blend in with its flock.

The Komondor, being naturally wary of strangers, makes an excellent house guard dog. They are devoted to their master and will defend him against attack by any stranger. This trait makes it advisable that the dog only be used as a herd/flock guardian/protector, not for driving. When mature, the breed is an earnest, courageous, very faithful herd/flock guardian. While a puppy, the Komondor is playful.
