Komondor Weight & Growth Chart
Complete weight guide with growth charts for male and female Komondors from puppy to adult.
The Komondor belongs to the Working group and originates from Hungary. Adults typically weigh between 80 and 100 pounds, standing 25 to 27 inches at the shoulder. Life expectancy runs from 10 to 12 years, and the figures on this page describe that range rather than a single average, because the spread is what matters when you are deciding. Running costs settle around $213 a month once the dog is past puppyhood, before insurance and before anything unexpected. These numbers come from published breed standards and, where a standard is silent, from longevity and veterinary studies; they describe the breed as a population and not the dog in front of you. Line, upbringing, early socialisation and simple chance move an individual well away from the typical profile, and two dogs of the same breed often differ more than two dogs of different breeds. Nothing here is a diagnosis: for a specific animal, a veterinary surgeon who has examined it will always know more than a table.
Komondor Weight Overview
Weight range for the Komondor: 80–100 lbs overall. Males: 80–100 lbs. Females: 68–88 lbs.
Males weigh 100-130 pounds or more, females 80-100 pounds; the corded coat adds significant visual bulk to an already large and powerful frame.. Consult the growth chart below for typical weight progression by age.

When Does a Komondor Stop Growing?
The Komondor stops growing in height (target: 25–27 inches) around 15–24 months of age, but may continue adding weight toward 100 lbs for several more months. Males weigh 100-130 pounds or more, females 80-100 pounds; the corded coat adds significant visual bulk to an already large and powerful frame..
Their long coat may also undergo changes during this period, reaching its adult texture by maturity.
Komondor Male vs Female Size Differences
Male and female Komondors differ noticeably in size, a pattern common in giant breeds. Males typically weigh 80–100 lbs, while females weigh 68–88 lbs. Both sexes stand 25–27 inches tall at the shoulder, though males tend to fall at the upper end of this range.
These size differences can influence practical ownership decisions. Larger males require more food, larger crate sizes, and stronger leash handling. Female Komondors at the lower weight range may be easier to manage physically for smaller handlers or families with children. Both sexes share the same temperament and health profile, so size preference should be a practical decision rather than a temperament-based one.
Is My Komondor Overweight?
Assessing your Komondor's body condition (healthy range: 80–100 lbs):
- Rib check: Run your hands along the ribcage, you should feel individual ribs under a slight fat layer
- Overhead view: A defined waist should be visible between ribs and hips
- Side profile: The abdomen should tuck upward behind the last rib
Overweight Komondors face higher risks of Hip Dysplasia, joint problems, and shortened lifespan. As a giant-sized working breed, maintaining lean body condition is especially important for longevity. Work with your vet to adjust feeding and exercise if needed.
Komondor Weight Management Tips
Maintaining your Komondor at a healthy weight between 80 and 100 lbs is one of the most impactful things you can do for their long-term health. Studies consistently show that lean dogs live an average of 1.8–2.5 years longer than overweight dogs of the same breed.
Portion control: Use a measuring cup for every meal rather than estimating. Feed the amount recommended for your Komondor's ideal weight, not their current weight if they are overweight. Divide daily food into two meals for adults and three meals for puppies under six months.
Treat management: Treats should not exceed 10% of daily caloric intake. Use small, low-calorie training treats and consider using pieces of your dog's regular kibble as rewards during training sessions. Avoid table scraps entirely, as they add unpredictable calories and can introduce foods that are toxic to dogs.
Exercise alignment: With an exercise needs rating of 3/5, the Komondor requires moderate daily exercise. Balance food intake with activity level, adjusting portions during periods of reduced activity such as recovery from illness or injury.
Regular weigh-ins: Weigh your Komondor monthly and track the trend. Gradual weight gain of even one to two pounds per month can lead to significant obesity over time. Your veterinarian can establish your dog's ideal weight during wellness visits and recommend caloric adjustments as needed.
Feeding Recommendation
Plan on 1.2–2.0 cups of premium dry food daily for your adult Komondor, divided into morning and evening meals. Given this working breed's predisposition to Hip Dysplasia, discuss dietary approaches that may help manage this risk with your vet. Males weigh 100-130 pounds or more, females 80-100 pounds; the corded coat adds significant visual bulk to an already large and powerful frame..
Komondor Weight by Age Table
The following table shows expected weight ranges for male and female Komondors at key developmental milestones. Individual dogs may fall slightly outside these ranges depending on genetics, nutrition, and activity level. Consult your veterinarian if your Komondor's weight deviates significantly from these benchmarks.
| Age | Male (lbs) | Female (lbs) |
|---|---|---|
| 3 months | 18.3–21.7 | 15.5–18.5 |
| 6 months | 41.2–48.8 | 34.9–41.6 |
| 9 months | 59.5–70.5 | 50.5–60.0 |
| 12 months | 73.3–86.7 | 62.1–73.9 |
| 18 months | 87.0–103.0 | 73.8–87.7 |
| 24 months | 91.6–108.4 | 77.7–92.3 |
Health Risks of Incorrect Weight in Komondors
Both underweight and overweight conditions pose serious health risks for the Komondor. Understanding these risks reinforces the importance of maintaining your dog within the 80–100 lb target range.
Overweight risks: Excess weight places additional strain on joints, increasing the risk and severity of conditions like Hip Dysplasia. Overweight Komondors also face higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, respiratory compromise, heat intolerance, and reduced lifespan. Even moderate excess weight, just 10–15% above ideal, shortens life expectancy and reduces quality of life.
Underweight risks: A Komondor consistently below 80 lbs may be experiencing inadequate nutrition, parasitic infection, dental problems that prevent eating, or underlying illness. Underweight dogs have weakened immune systems, poor coat quality, reduced energy, and slower healing. If your Komondor appears thin despite normal feeding, veterinary examination is essential to rule out medical causes.
