The Komondor's most striking feature is its double-coat that develops into cords at 8-10 months of age. Bred to guard sheep, they are protective of their family and guarded with strangers, with a tendency to follow their humans. Owners need to take time to separate cords as they develop, so they remain thin, and most trim them regularly, so they do not trail on the ground. The tight cords mean that individual hairs that irritate allergies are rarely shed, though whole cords may occasionally fall off.
