Last week’s What Is It? didn’t manage to get a correct answer!

The dog breed is a Komondor, a livestock guardian dog breed originally from Hungary. Their white corded coats are said to be the heaviest in the canine world and require a lot of care and maintenance to keep the cords separated so they don’t become a giant matted mess! It’s said the coat also protected the dogs from wolf bites since the wolves couldn’t get through the cords.

The Komondor is similar to the Puli breed except that a Komondor is always white, whereas a Puli can be white, gray or black and Pulis are much smaller.
