IDENTIFYING A KOMONDOR: A Komondor in a shelter usually doesn’t have the typical white corded coat (matted ropes) seen in breed photos, but more often is a mass of dirty and dingy solid mats. If the dog has been clipped it will have a white curly coat, similar to that of a clipped poodle. A clipped Komondor will appear smaller in size than a fully coated dog and is sometimes is mistaken for a large Standard Poodle. A Komondor is taller than the Standard Poodle and has more bone and larger feet. The average weight is about 100 pounds, but I have seen some malnourished dogs weighing only 50 lbs. The head, nose and muzzle are broader. The ears are important in helping to identify the breed. They are an elongated triangle; wide where they attach to the head and then they narrow down to a rounded tip. They are medium set and fall close to the head. The only ear movement is slightly forward or backward. Other traits have a wider variation: the tail may hang low or curl up, the skin may be gray, pink or have dark patches, and the almond shaped dark-rimmed eyes may be dark or light brown.
