Questions people ask

Adult males usually weigh 50–60 kg and females 40–50 kg. Most are close to their full size by around 13 months, though the last little bit of filling out takes longer. Growth reference: Hawthorne et al. 2004, WALTHAM (five giant-breed fits, n=35).

No Komondor cycle figures are published here yet, so this is general guidance rather than a breed number: most females have a first season somewhere between six and fifteen months, and cycles then settle to roughly every 180 days. Smaller breeds tend to start earlier and larger ones later.

10–12 y — the usual range. Uncited — a general reference figure, not a published one · no measured cohort for this breed. How the later years go comes down to weight, teeth, exercise and regular check-ups far more than to the breed.
