Komondors!

Komondors are so cool so why don't you have a look at some facts about them:

#1. "The Komondor is a muscular flock guardian, with massive bone structure."
#2. "The almond-shaped eyes are dark brown and medium in size."
#3. "Ears are an elongated triangle in shape with a slightly rounded tip, blending with the rest of the coat."
#4. "The hanging tail is long enough to reach the hocks."
#5. "The teeth meet in a scissors or level bite."
#6. "Its body is totally covered with an extraordinary felted and corded coat, which is 8 to 11 inches (20-27cm.) long, and always white. This thick, corded, white coat helps the dog blend in well with sheep and also helps protect them from any prey that it might be called upon to fight in his role as a flock guardian. The outer coat fuses with the undercoat to form long cords that hang alongside the dog. The coat of a puppy is relatively soft, but shows signs of corded-like curls. It can take up to two years for the cords to form completely and 5 years to reach the desired length."
#7. "Komondors can be good family dogs if they have owners who know how to display a natural, firm authority over the dog, are socialized, trained thoroughly, and raised with children from the start, but they are not recommended for most families."
#8. "Komondors are serious working flock guardians bred to be fiercely protective, and confident, as they watch over their charges. Relentless against wolves and bears that would attack the flock with which it is entrusted. In a few minutes the Komondor can get the better of even the strongest enemy. Because this breed is bred to work independently as a flock guardian they have a high dominancy level. When they are raise to work as the flock guardian they were bred to be they will be very reserved with strangers and territorial."
#9. "This breed must be thoroughly socialized with people and other dogs preferably at an early age."
#10. "They need complete and firm leadership with clear rules they must follow and obedience training by an experienced owner, as they can be very willful if they are stronger minded than the humans around them."
#11. "Smart, but easily bored, loyal to and respectful of their master, but fierce against threats to their charges."
#12. "The objective in training this dog is to achieve a pack leader status. It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in their pack. When we humans live with dogs, we become their pack. The entire pack cooperates under a single leader. Lines are clearly defined and rules are set."
#13. "Because a dog communicates his displeasure with growling and eventually biting, all other humans MUST be higher up in the order than the dog. The humans must be the ones making the decisions, not the dogs. That is the only way your relationship with your dog can be a complete success. If this relationship is not established the Komondor can be aggressive with both dogs and people if they enter the property as they take over the home, treating all strangers as the predators coming after their flock. Humans need to be the leader in the home, not the dog."
#14. "Puppies should be handled a lot by strangers."
#15. "Owners should never let the puppies jump on or chew on humans."
#16. "They should be taught to heel on a lead right from the start and learn to enter and exit all door and gateways after the humans."
#17. "Height: 25.5 inches (65cm.) and higher."
#18. "Weight: Dogs up to 125 pounds (59kg.)
Bitches 10% less."
#19. "This dog does best in a clean country environment where he can receive extensive daily exercise, but it will do okay in an apartment if sufficiently exercised. They do well in most climates, for the Komondor lives for many months outdoors in all kinds of weather."
#20. "It is possible to keep this breed in an urban environment although the country is more to its liking. If they are not actively working as a flock guardian, they need to be taken on a daily, long brisk walk. This dog can be extremely lazy and will sleep and rest for hours upon hours."
#21. "Life Expectancy: About 10-12 years."
