The coat of a Komondor consists of long, coarse cords, which may be wavy or curly, with a softer undercoat. The hair tends to cling together like tassels to give the corded appearance. The color is always white, and the skin is gray, but pink skin is acceptable.<\/p>\n

If neglected, the coat forms into large, matted “plates”. The cords are strong and heavy, and felt-like to touch. For the show ring, the Komondor is presented as corded. Do a lot of research before taking on this breed.<\/p>\n

Equipment needed:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Scissors to trim the adult coat, particularly the feet.<\/p>\n

\n
• Check through the cords and separate those that are matted at the skin.<\/li>\n
• Bathe the Komondor in a shampoo, made from pure, natural, therapeutic ingredients of tea tree and lavender. When choosing a suitable\u00a0 shampoo, make sure it has easy-cleaning capabilities and is soothing and calming to the skin.<\/li>\n
• Rinse the coat thoroughly, being careful that no trace of shampoo is left in, as it will be very itchy for the dog.<\/li>\n
• Squeeze the excess water from the coat with super absorbent towels.<\/li>\n
• Air- or cage-dry.<\/li>\n
• For pet dogs, the stomach can be clipped with Oster No. 4 for comfort and cleanliness, as can the anal area.<\/li>\n
• Check the dog’s nails, ears and teeth.<\/li>\n
• Finish by checking all the cords to separate any clogs next to the skin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
