Puli Puppies

Pulis make great family companions and get along great with kids and other pets, especially when socialized early. They are very intelligent, easy to train, and excel at obedience and agility training. They are very affectionate with their family members, but suspicious of strangers, making them great watchdogs.

The Puli is typically a sturdy and healthy breed but can be susceptible to conditions common for their size. You should keep an eye out for things like Hip Dysplasia, Progressive Retinal Atrophy, and deafness.

The Puli has a medium energy level and loves when its exercise involves a task to complete. These dogs enjoy canine sports like herding, obedience, and agility training. They also love going on walks and hikes with their owners. Exercise should not be overdone when they are young and their growth plates haven't closed yet.

The Puli has a unique grooming routine due to their dense and corded coat. Rather than brushing their coat, you should wet the coat with water, and use your hands to separate and twirl their hair into cords. Their coat can take days to dry, so bathing should only be done if necessary.

The Puli coat is one of the most unique in the dog world, and its dense corded coat does not shed. This makes them fairly low-maintenance and hypoallergenic.

The Puli is best known for its unique appearance, especially its long, dreadlock-like coat. Their dreadlocks can be brushed out, but either way, their coat requires a fair amount of maintenance. Beneath their heavy coats, these dogs are sturdy, muscular, and powerful.

The Puli's ancestry can be traced back to the 9th century in the central area of the Danube. As Turkish tribes migrated, various sheepdog breeds were crossbred, and it is said that the Puli breed was heavily influenced by the Tibetan Spaniel. The breed almost went extinct, but an effort in the early 20th century to revive the breed caused its popularity to increase. The breed standard was developed in 1924, and they remain a popular show dog and family companion today.
