Komondor (Definite Introduction)
The most typical feature of the Komondor is that it is covered with a dense layer of white fur, which is particularly conspicuous. The male Komondor is about 27.5 inches tall at the withers, and the female Komondor is about 25.5 inches tall at the shoulders. The male Komondor weighs about 100 pounds, and the female Komondor weighs about 80 pounds.
A mature Komondor should have sufficient bone mass and muscle. A tall body is very important, but so are type, quality, uniformity, movement and solidity, and there is no reason to have any one of these just for size. The proportion of the body is that the length is slightly greater than the height at the withers. Being shorter than the minimum height is a disadvantage.
Neck: Well-muscled, of medium length, slightly arched, free of fat, making the head erect.
Topline: reverse and thick.
Body: The body appears powerful, deep chested, well muscled and well proportioned. The chest is broad and muscular, and the abdomen is slightly drawn back. The croup is broad and muscular, sloping slightly toward the base of the tail. A body that is too gentle or lacks good muscle structure is a drawback.
Tail: The tail is like the spread line of the rump, drooping, and the length extends to the hock. Slightly forward bend, the tip of the tail may be bent to one side, or it may not be bent. Although most of the tail will protrude when he is active and excited, it should not be higher than the level of his back. A short or docked tail is a fault.
Forequarters: Shoulders suitable for skew. The forelimbs are straight, with ample bone mass and well-developed muscles. No matter which way you look at it, the legs are conceived as straight cylinders. The forearms are close to the body and the elbows are not light.
Feet: thick, with toes close and well arched. The pads are firm, elastic, black or gray. Of course, light-colored toenails are allowed, but black or gray toenails are more ideal.
Hind limbs: The hind limbs are as solid as steel. The extremely developed muscles cover the solid bones. Viewed from the front, the legs are very straight. Excessive deflection of the posterior knee joint. Dewclaws must be removed.
Coat: The deep, protective coat is typical of this breed. The coat of a puppy is relatively soft, but looks close and curved like a rope. The coat of young dogs, or the coat in excessive condition, is composed of many short "ropes" close to the skin, which are not obvious and sometimes appear in clumps. They look like there is a layer of fluff outside the ropes. The coat of an adult dog has two layers, a soft, deep, fluffy undercoat like a puppy's coat, and a rough, rough undercoat., high and unyielding, curved outer coat. The rough coat is trapped in a soft undercoat. The coat is long and thick, rope-like, and feels like felt to the touch. The adult Komondor is completely covered in a large amount of tassel-like rope-like coat. One thing to remember is that its length must meet the functional requirements of the Komondor's coat. If a young dog has a short coat, it will not be considered a fault. A straight or soft coat is a fault, and failure to grow a ropey coat by the age of two is a disqualification. Short and smooth coat on head and legs is a disqualification.
Face: The face is white, but not often white. Occasionally, young Komondor puppies will show a little cheese color or light yellow, but as they mature, the color will fade.
Gait: Brisk, calm and coordinated. The Komondor has a long stride and its feet are exceptionally light and agile. When trotting, the head is slightly extended forward.
