Komondors are large, robust dogs. Adult males typically weigh between 90-130 pounds, while females usually range from 80-100 pounds. Their height generally measures around 25-30 inches at the shoulder, with males being larger and more muscular than females.

Komondors are known for their loyal, protective, and independent temperament. They are devoted to their families and are typically reserved with strangers, making them excellent watchdogs. While they can be gentle and affectionate with their family members, their strong guardian instincts mean they need proper socialization and training from a young age to ensure balanced behavior.

The Komondor is famous for its distinctive long, corded coat, which resembles dreadlocks. The coat is thick, weather-resistant, and consists of an undercoat and a dense outer coat, providing insulation and protection. While the coat is usually white, it may have slight variations in shade. The corded coat requires regular grooming to maintain and prevent matting, particularly during the cord formation process.

This breed thrives in environments that allow them to have space and freedom to roam and perform their guarding duties. Komondors require regular exercise, ideally in a rural or semi-rural setting where they can have access to land to patrol. They are not well-suited for apartment living and prefer homes with yards or open spaces.

Komondors enjoy a variety of activities that engage their natural instincts and energy. They require daily walks, playtime, and opportunities to work, as they thrive when given a task or purpose. Training in obedience and socialization is critical for their development, and they can also engage in activities such as herding trials or tracking exercises that cater to their guarding instincts.
