About how long does it take you to separate the chords? Even at the pace ur going it still looks like it would take a lot of time!

@kuchiharu 'lot' is relative, but yes, it does take awhile. It really depends on how matted the cords are. Obviosly if you go through them often - like once in a couple of weeks -, it's much easier, and won't take too long, maybe 10-15min. I'm talking about the already formed cords. When they first start cording or matting, you better check them weekly or so. :)

Whoever bred these dogs back in Hungary is a genius!

@amazingdany Komondors are an ancient breed. The huns 'perfected' them to be independent guardians of their flock. :)

@33phantasm I'm glad you're not around, I wouldn't like to clean up after you ;)

@33phantasm only if you owned one of these dogs maybe you would finally realize its on the inside that counts

@BALROGG111 no brushing, separating the cords, make sure they don't matt. soak in the tub and make sure it gets dry all over. you wash as often as u want to :)

@Smackenzieth the komondors are excellent guard dogs by nature. Normally koms are not biters, but they 'immobilize' the intruder, and bite only if there is a threat.

some first time owners are better then experienced dog owners :) what a komondor needs is a leader. They are extremely smart, and independent thinkers. If you don't lead, they will take over, and that's not what you want. :) You must be the head of your peck! that of course is true with any other breed in my opinion.

ok ive been looking for a protective dog in the future and im thinking either a black russian terrier or this dog.

does this dog have a good guarding ability?and i dont mind the grooming cuz i have dreadlocks too ^^but im not getting the dog just cuz of its coat at all and would this dog make a good dog for a first time owner?
