Facts about the Komondor
Exercise
Working breeds thrive with a job — 60+ min activity plus mental tasks prevent destructive boredom.
AKC
Behavior
Deeply bonded to their handler — early socialization prevents separation anxiety and over-protectiveness.
VCA
Health
Large-breed puppies: keep runs short and build up gradually. Growth plates close late — often well past the first year — so avoid long, high-impact exercise until your vet confirms growth is complete.
VCA
Training
Consistency is non-negotiable — the same command from every family member, every time. Mixed signals breed confusion.
