I found out that they can be quite protective, which is great but can be overwhelming. Socializing them early is key to keeping them friendly with strangers.

Nobody mentioned how heavy a Komondor can be, especially when they're wet! Bathing him is quite the workout. They have tons of fur, and it gets muddy fast. Just be prepared for serious scrubbing and drying time.

I didn't expect how stubborn they can be when it comes to training. You really need to be consistent and patient with them.

I had no idea how much space they truly need. They're big dogs and really thrive in a yard.

I was not ready for how much shedding we would deal with during certain seasons. Their coat mats easily, and you’ll need a good grooming routine to keep it manageable.
