The Mop Dog


Is this a dog or a mop? This is the Komondor (plural Komondorok), nicknamed "Mop Dog" for their long, corded coat. Komondorok originated in Hungary, born to guard livestock. And guess what? They  blend right in with the sheep.

Life Span: 10- 12 years
Weight: Female, 88 - 110 pounds, male, 110 - 132 pounds
Maintenance: High, must separate cords every day or so, no brushing needed
