Pros & cons

Prós e contras da raça Komondor

O que ganha com a raça Komondor

  • Função declarada no padrão: «Herding dog»
  • O padrão descreve a raça assim: «He has an imperturbable courage in the guarding and defense of the herds entrusted to him and the property and home of…»

O que tem de assumir

  • Exige muitos cuidados com o pelo — a descrição do próprio padrão é «The shaggy coat, that tends towards matting is a basic requirement.»

Retirado de fontes e não escrito como opinião — investigação de saúde citada, o padrão do próprio registo, e estudos de longevidade revistos por pares. Padrão da raça, FCI. Os animais de um criador podem diferir de tudo isto, e uma coluna vazia significa que não temos nada desse lado, não que não haja nada a dizer.

Characteristics

Padrão da FCI · Komondor

Pelo e cor

Tal como o padrão da FCI o estabelece. Cada linha abaixo está nas palavras do próprio padrão.

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

Cor

  • Preferred
  • Permissible
  • Undesirable
  • Disqualifying

«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» e «disqualifying» — preferida, admissível, indesejável e desqualificante — são as palavras da própria FCI sobre a raça, e ficam em inglês porque é assim que constam do padrão. Descrevem o que o padrão exige — não são uma avaliação de nenhum cão em concreto, nem nossa.

  • Ivory colour

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.
