Pros & cons

Pros y contras de la raza Komondor

Lo que obtienes con la raza Komondor

  • Función declarada en el estándar: «Herding dog»
  • El estándar describe la raza así: «He has an imperturbable courage in the guarding and defense of the herds entrusted to him and the property and home of…»

Lo que asumes

  • Exige muchos cuidados del pelo — la descripción del propio estándar es «The shaggy coat, that tends towards matting is a basic requirement.»

Extraído de fuentes y no escrito como opinión — investigación de salud citada, el estándar del propio registro, y estudios de longevidad revisados por pares. Estándar de la raza, FCI. Los animales de un criador pueden diferir de todo esto, y una columna vacía significa que no tenemos nada de ese lado, no que no haya nada que decir.

Characteristics

Estándar de la FCI · Komondor

Pelo y color

Tal como lo establece el estándar de la FCI. Cada línea de abajo está en las palabras del propio estándar.

Coat

The whole body is covered by long hair.

The coat consists of a coarser topcoat and finer undercoat.

The characteristic coat is determined by the relation of the top coat to the undercoat.

The shaggy coat, that tends towards matting is a basic requirement.

An equally dense, wavy, corded coat also occurs.

The smaller tufts of hair are less or not matted at all.

The coat is longest on the croup, at the loin region and on the rear of the upper thighs (at least 20-27cm).

On the back, at the sides of the chest and at the region of the shoulder blades, it is of medium length (15-22 cm), at the cheeks, the eyebrows, on top of the head, on the ears, the neck and the limbs, it is shorter (10-18 cm) and at the lips and on the lower parts of the limbs shortest (9-11 cm).

Neither a combed nor a completely neglected coat are desirable

Health guide

What to ask for in a Komondor

No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Komondor on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.

Puppies

No puppies listed right now

No Komondor breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
