LINUS!
True Hungarian Komondors are an extremely rare breed in the USA.
We have over 7 Champions in our bloodlines! When we get a breed we look for the finest in the breed.
If you are searching for a true Hungarian bred AKC Komondor it is nearly impossible to find.
We have one PERFECT mating couple. Both from Hungry and HUGE!
Our Komondors live both inside and out. Since they do not roam we have no issues with them running away, so we can let them run the property, and since they are
among the best and oldest breeds a guardian dogs we do not worry about them being taken from us , no one would dare
try to pick one of these huge rag dolls up without permission!
A true bred Hungarian Komondor male should be over 110 pounds and females over 90,
Our male is 130, and our female is over 100 pounds.
Males should be 27+ inches at the withers and females 25+ at the withers, again our are above standard.
Character, symmetry and movement are above standard in ours as well.
The bodies of our pair are slightly longer than their height making them show quality.
The heads are large and the skin around their eyes and muzzle are dark.
This is an extremely beautiful and rare breeding couple.
In addition to the great conformation of our Komondors, they have the most wonderful temperment.
I am asked so often to explain the temperment of a Komondor. I have narrowed the
description to an easy to understand statement for folks.
If you take the Great Pyrenees in your right hand and you take the Old English Sheepdog in your left hand
and you push the two of your hands together and press them into one then sprinkle the smashed pair with a dose of
Newfoundland then you have the temperment of a Komondor.
It is the best of all breeds. It is docile, yet an amazing guard, it is fun but not over the top wild.
It is loving, and will literally give it's own life to protect the ones it loves.
I cannot say enough good things about this breed.
They do not roam, nor do they challenge the fence line. They are eager to please and highly intelligent, and best of all they do not shed!
Okay the downside - is they are not the best breeders. Making the price of a true AKC Hungarian Komondor a bit expensive.
They eat a lot for the first two years....but so do all of our other dogs.
If you are cording your Komondor out they look pitiful the first year or so, and
washing them is a true chore if you have chse to cord them.
Mine do not mind the bath, like my sheepdogs they enjoy the attention, but they are like a
HUGE mop, that you just cannot wring out! I remember the first time I tried to wash my gal, it took close to two days
for her to dry and even then I felt wet in her undercoat, and it was really hot outside.
Most folks choose to keep them groomed like a poodle, but remember they have much fuller fur than a poodle.
I am actually concidering this for my female. It seems cleaner to me, but have not made the jump just yet.
If you cord them our it is a site to stop a car dead in it's tracks!
These are big dogs, really big dogs. The male when standing on his back legs will easily reach 6.5 feet tall.
They do like to roll and play similar to the Old English Sheepdog.
They will get dirty and require brushing or what I call picking. Just as I would clean sheeps wool.
They must have human interaction or buddies to care for. A komondor is not a loner, he would much prefer to have children,
other dogs, cats, goats, sheep, something to take care of, but they love, love, love children and puppies!
These are most certainly the original gentle giants, my Lucy licks every lamb born on the property clean, while the
mother ewe stands by her side. She would not dare harm a curl on her head.
We will apologize in advance that we cannot get a puppy to everyone. We have about 8 - 10 puppies a year so sign up on the waiting
list and we will contact you once the litter arrives. If placing deposit please call the farm to see if we already have deposits for the
upcoming litter ( remember we only take two of each sex per litter). With rare breeds such as these, there are people that will place a deposit as much as two years in advance.
To see where the deposit positions are call me 812 866 4660.
A Brief Note About Our Puppy Prices
We run a clean and healthy farm where we spare no expense in the care and treatment of our dogs.We are aware that there are breeders out there with less expensive puppies. We have been at both ends of the breeding business. We, at one time were in the position as buyer and have toured many breeders homes. We choose to treat our dogs like family and provide them with the type of home and care that we would want if we were living a dogs life. It takes many hours to socialize puppies and train large breed dogs. It takes a lot to transport large breeds back and forth to the vet and to keep them to be groomed. This is not important to all breeders but we see it differently. The end result is that we can be sure that when we send a puppy to his new home, that you- as a new puppy owner will have no issues with health or behavior. We get all of our dogs certified for hips and elbows, this is a common procedure for Newfoundlands, Komondors and Old English Sheepdogs but not a common procedure for Great Pyrenees breeders. We have chosen to do this so all involved can have peace of mind, and we can rest assurred that we have placed the healthiest possible puppy in your home possible.
Okay! Let me explain. Yes, I did spend a small fortune paying my groomer to cord the dogs.
Linda did a wonderful job. Only trouble is that Komondors are very playful, and silly at times. They like to play in the water and roll in the mulch.
Words cannot explain how hard it is to remove mulch from their corded coat.
I also began to notice that Linus ( which was fully corded ) just wasn't getting enough playtime from others.
I discussed shearing the dogs with my Senior Vet. who was not happy about the idea.
He is an old school vet ,and went on to explain the science and the history behind the coat. I do think he is a billiant man, and I fully agree
with everything that he said. The coat of this primitive breed is a temperature insulator, and their protection against preditors.
I thought about all he said and finally came to my own decision.
First of all with 17 large dogs, there is really nothing to protect.
My 17 huge dogs put out enough urine over our 30+ acres to keep anything and everything away, no preditors here.
So, it came down to the interaction with people. I was the only one that would play with Linus. First of all because he is HUGE,
and the corded coat only made him look even larger!
Second because I could not keep him clean. No one wanted to pet the huge dirty dog.
So there you have it! I loaded my huge dirty dog into my truck and took him to Linda the groomer, and told her to cut it all off.
Komondors love to travel but the entire trip there he laid down in the seat near the air conditioner vent.
Once I picked him up a couple hours later he sat high in the seat and looked out the window the entire way home!
He is getting far more attention now from others and can once again enjoy belly rubs. I could not find his belly before!
Linus post haircut.
If you are a Komondor owner and happen to be looking for a great groomer to help cord your Kom.
Please contact my groomer
