Overview

This factsheet applies to all livestock guardian dog breeds except for Komondors, which have a unique curly hair coat that requires special grooming methods.

All livestock guardian dogs (LGDs) need regular grooming of their coats to remain healthy.

This factsheet applies to all livestock guardian dog breeds except for Komondors, which have a unique curly hair coat that requires special grooming methods.
