Middle Atlantic States Komondor Club

In Desperate Need of a Home

MASKC — Mon, 14 May 2012 23:03:39 +0000

Pebbles is our 4th LGD, and 2nd Komondor. We need two at all times to protect our commercial ewe flock of 100 and their lambs. I do know how to bring them along for the best chance for success. We have certainly had episodes of inappropriate playing with stock with other dogs, but never have had actual extreme bloody mauling. Besides this, she is NOT bonded with livestock at all. She came to our farm to be an LGD but after a year and much time, training and attention, she has become even rougher with the lambs. This week she caused lethal damage, so we are giving up on her for this job. She is extremely well socialized with people (we got her at about a year old from a busy family full of kids). She is very well bred but not registered. She is not spayed, but that will need to be done by her adopters; recently had a full body clip, walks on a leash, great with other dogs, less territorial than a Komondor we used to have but she will certainly bark at unusual things, fine with horses and not a threat to our cats. Please let me know if you can help find Pebbles a new home. We are located in Oregon, near Eugene.

Please direct all inquiries to our Rescue Coordinator:

“Spectator and Princeton resident Joy Levy brought along her 10-year-old Komondor, Ben, to sit by her side as she watched the show. The 90-pound “dreadlock” dog took much longer to get ready for the show than she did, said Levy, who has been coming to the Trenton Kennel Club competitions since they started.” [read more from The Times of Trenton]

Komondor by Stationary Odyssey

MASKC — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 12:44:24 +0000

Wikipedia,
“Stationary Odyssey is an alternative rock band from Evansville, Indiana, composed of Aaron Tanner and Brett Siler. Their debut EP, Komondor, was named one of the top 15 Most Important Releases of 2004 in Japan (Duotone Records).”

From their website,
“Originally released in February of 2003 on Boyarm, the Komondor LP is a mesmerizing 10-song sonic landscape in which any pretense of traditional rock and roll is abandoned in favor of an exploration of the dissonic possibilities of alternate bass tunings, toy pianos and chattering children. This release has been fully remastered and now includes the single “Spongelike Wonderland,” the 11-second wonder “Hey Matt” and 3 previously unreleased tracks.”

From melodicvirtue.com,
“While not entirely avant-garde or wholly conventional, Stationary Odyssey carries the passion and honesty of folk music in a package composed of the heady aspects of trip-hop and the explosive bombast of indie-rock.”

Remote Komondor

MASKC — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 14:39:14 +0000

A new product has surfaced which uses our breed in their product branding, “Remote Komondor”. Not a remote for your Komondor, while I would prefer that sometimes for our girl, but an app for your Apple mobile device that turns it into a remote control for a computer. The product website, www.remotekomondor.com, showcases the many mobile devices which support this product, with a happy Komondor caricature to the right.

”Remote Komondor is an application that turns your Wi-Fi enabled mobile device such as your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad into a remote control for your computer. Sit back on the sofa and control your favorite media player on your PC remotely from your iPhone.”

This application was developed by by Zsolt Anisics and is available in full and lite versions. Product description from iTunes:

Remote Komondor is a universal remote controller for your Windows based PC. The project consists of 2 distinct applications such as the Remote Komondor Desktop Application for Windows machine and the Remote Komondor Client for iPhone. The Remote Komondor Desktop application has the following 3 profiles: Media Player, Phone and Keypad. All the controlled applications can be categorized in these profiles. Currently, Remote Komondor for iPhone incorporates only the Media Player and the Keypad profiles. The Phone profile is a future plan for iPhone. Under the Hood : The Media Player profile gives you the ability to attach to one of the supported media players and gives full control over it. Remote Komondor Desktop connects to the controlled software through its API. It controls the application and fetches all media information. The Keypad profile works as a keyboard emulation and sends pre-defined hotkey commands to the controlled application. Supported Applications:   Windows Media Player  iTunes  Winamp  BSPlayer  Celestia  Impress  IrfanView  MPlayer  PowerDVD  PowerPoint  VLC Player  WinDVD  Windows Media Center.

Charlie swallowed a $3,600 corn cob

MASKC — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 16:00:02 +0000

Sarah Meehan from USA Today reports,

“Charlie swallowed a $3,600 corn cob. Well, that’s about how much it cost to remove the corn cob from the Komondor puppy’s belly. Luckily, his owner, Les Kaciban of Ashburn, Va., only paid about $1,000 out-of-pocket for the procedure. Kaciban’s policy with Pets Best Insurance covered the difference.” [read more]
