The Puli is famous for thick, natural cords. These rare dogs are affectionate and nimble, but their coats need careful upkeep. Once used by Hungarian shepherds, Pulis are small yet sturdy, standing 16 to 17 inches and weighing 25 to 35 pounds. Their ropes shield them from harsh weather and predators. Energetic and gifted herders, they may try to herd their families. Lively and bright, they bond closely with owners. Early socialization and steady training suit their independent streak.
