Hair Coat Color And Grooming Needs Of Komondor Dogs

Komondor Dogs have wonderful unique coats. In general, these dogs are born with soft curls, which grow heavier. It will go on as the dog continues to mature until the hair grows into long and felt-like cords, which look like mop strands. Komondor Dogs have soft, woolly undercoats beneath the coarse topcoats. In addition to that, Komondor puppies have shades of cream/buff. As your dog grows up, the shading on his coat gradually fades and becomes white.

Brushing is not necessary for this breed, but this does not mean they do not have maintenance needs either. At the age of 8 to 12 months, their cords start to form (in which their undercoats are trapped by their topcoats). At this point, keeping their hair dry and clean is already necessary to prevent discoloration caused by dirt. Usually, the coats become completely formed by the time your dog turns 2 years of age.

Any skin and/or hair coat issue exhibited by your pet should warrant an appointment with your veterinary hospital New Orleans, LA.

Gordon Setter Personality

 

Gordon Setters are loyal, intensely devoted family dogs. But when it comes to strangers, they tend to be wary, which explains why they make such excellent watchdogs. These mannerly pups love to please people, but they will surely use the lack of leadership to their advantage. Without consistent, firm, and fair training, Gordons may become stubborn, dominant, and willful.

These dogs are known to act sorry when they make mistakes, but they probably regret that they got caught in the first place. When it comes to competitions and fieldwork, though, Gordon Setters are fearless, alert, capable, and intelligent. They work as personal hunting partners, with expertise in working nearby instead of being in far ranges. Although they're not fast, these pups have high stamina.

Fearfulness is normal for Gordon puppies who are 6-9 months old. To address this, just stay calm but don't coddle your pup so much. With this, he will feel reassured that everything is fine and they shouldn't be afraid.

Your pet will benefit from regular health and wellness checks at your pet hospital New Orleans, LA.
