Frequently Asked Questions

Do Komondors shed?

Yes, Komondors shed, but not like other breeds. This makes them a better choice for people with mild allergies, as they could lose entire 'cords' of hair instead of small amounts of fur. However, they're not considered hypoallergenic.

Are Komondors good with children?

Komondors can be very affectionate with their families, but they may not be too friendly with kids or other dogs unless they have been socialized at a young age. Given their size and strength, supervision is recommended when they are around young kids.

How much exercise do Komondors need?

Komondors are generally low-energy but still require daily exercise to stay healthy and prevent boredom. They should be walked daily and have access to a secure yard for play to prevent boredom and keep them fit.

Can Komondors live in apartments?

Komondors are large and energetic dogs that are not suitable for apartment living. But they do well in large yards where they can roam freely and have space to guard.

What are common health issues in Komondors?

Hip dysplasia, bloat (gastric dilatation volvulus) and some eye problems, such as entropion or cataracts are common health problems. Keeping them healthy is important, and that means regular veterinary checkups and vaccinations.
