Komondor Features
Komondors are rugged with large heads and medium sized, dark brown eyes. While their eyes are covered by their shaggy coat, they have great eyesight. Their ears are elongated and hang downward, but are sensitive to sound. Their neck is moderately lengthy and their back is level. The Komondor's coat is mainly white, although some have spots of cream. American Kennel Club: Komondor Breed Standard
