The komondor is a dog race guardian and shepherd, original of Hungary. The komondor is a dog of great size and robust complexión. With a minimum stature of 65 cm (females) to 70 cm (male), and a weight of 40 to 60 kg, it is of the races greater than they exist. Besides its great size, its more excellent characteristic is its always white, long, heavy coat and that hangs in long tufts that remember dreadlocks or the bristles of some types of trapeador.

The coat of an adult dog is made up of a fine internal layer and an external layer of rustic hair that are combined already forming mentioned tufts. This aspect is obtained from natural way, although certain aid is required to avoid the tangles. The length of cords is increased as the dog grows. Traditionally, this strange coat protects the dog of the attacks of the wolves, that were incapable to bite it through this dense maze.
