The Komondor
is a massive dog with a proud gait. The body is totally
covered with an extraordinary felted and corded coat,
which is 8 to 11 inches and is always white. Its corded
white coat helps the Komondor to blend in well with
sheep and also helps protect it from beasts of prey
that it might be called upon to fight in his role as
flock guardian. The outer coat fuses with the undercoat
to form felt that hangs in long cords. It can take up
to two years for the cords to form completely and 5
years to reach the desired length. Its head and muzzle
are massive and rather short. The eyes are dark brown
and the ears are u-shaped and hang down to blend with
the rest of the coat. The head is large and it generally
has massive bone structure and a hanging tail.
