Puli

You can not write anything about this breed without commenting on its unique appearance.

Versatile shepherd and working dog

The Puli originates from Hungary and derives from Persian and Asian bush dogs.

They have long traditions as hard-working farm dogs. The Puli most commonly herded grazing animals or guarded properties, which makes for a vocalizing dog breed. Even though they are not aggressive towards strangers, they will alert their owners when someone arrives.

Distinct herd animal

They need to keep their flock gathered at all times. You can safely say that they are herd animals, which depend on having people around them.
