Really? Huh, awesome. I'll add them to the list then. What about grooming, woth those funky cords? Or do I just leave them alone?

Cording takes quite a bit of grooming, you have to go through routinely and separate the each cord. I might be wrong with Komondor since I looked at other corded breeds

Under Grooming, they have a quote from a breeder that says she never brushes, but does bath and dry often, especially after splitting the cords when they distant developing

I'm thinking that they'll be more than I want to maintain for a dog that will be living outside with the animals. So, I'll probably just completely scrap the idea of a dog staying with the sheep and goats since I'm not liking any of the other options

Also prey drive

EXACTLY!
Breed matters when you decide what type of dog you're going to let into your pasture!

Genetics are so interesting to me. I would have guessed he’s purebred.

Look into the Komondor Club of America, they know how to care about the coat the best. Also, they should have a way of interacting with them and asking questions, since none of us own corded breeds

If you have tiktok, I know of one poodle person who is going through the cording process right now

 

[Pollo Blanco]

Yes. But in the right home, and with the right guidance, it is definitely doable

So in other words, very few households.

Don't get me wrong, Aussies ARE NOT right for most households.

No, it's not legal in my state anymore, I'm pretty sure. Plus it was just too big on my phone even before then

 

[fluffycrow]

Well what I said applies for all breeds IMO. But yes, not many households will be happy with a primitive breed. But as long as there

So in other words, very few households.

are devoted people keeping them alive, and we continue to advocate for them, then that's fine
