Niea is a stunning female Komondor. Both her sire and dam were in the top ten of the breed for 2006. She is a big girl with a gorgeous head and beautiful corded coat. She stands out in almost any crowd.
Niea is a sweet girl that loves attention, however, she is all Komondor and takes her job as a guardian to our farm and family very seriously. She has passed her Canine Good Citizen test and her TDI certification as a therapy dog. Even at just the beginning of her therapy dog career her calm demeanor and gentle ways are building her quite a fan club. Niea is also one of the few Komondorok that have taken the American Temperament Test Society’s temperament test and has the TT title. She is a very important part of our family.

The Komondor
|
The Komondor is an ancient breed
originating in Hungary. Its
original job, one many Komondorok (the plural of “Komondor”) still
perform today, was as a livestock guard.
Don’t let that beautiful white coat fool you – there is a
serious guard dog under all those cords!
When meeting a Komondor it’s best to be properly introduced.
The Komondor takes it job very seriously, and although it is loving
to family, strangers are viewed with great suspicion and Komodorok will
guard their charges with their lives.
They are independent thinkers and are highly intelligent.
Of course one of the most notable
physical attributes of the Komondor besides its large size is its unique
coat. The cording of the Komondor’s snow white coat is a
completely natural process and the dog’s coat will fully cord within two
years from birth. This
special coat is completely weatherproof and allows the Komondor to do its
job in all kinds of weather. Although,
the Komondor does not shed, the coat does require quite a lot of regular
maintenance to keep it looking its best. 
Komondorok are incredibly intelligent and loyal companions – but they are not for everyone. For more information about the breed, including the breed standard, check out our links page.
