Questions about the Puli breed
The Puli is a special breed, because it is so different with its cord than what is known. Also the Puli is often reduced only to this special coat and the versatile, friendly and winning character of this Hungarian shepherd dog takes a back seat. Therefore we want to give them a more comprehensive view of the herding dog with these questions and answers.
In addition, we have noticed that there are a number of questions about the Puli breed dog that are asked again and again. We have added the menu item "Frequently Asked Questions" to our homepage to provide you with quick and comprehensive information. Perhaps your question is already included.
