The Puli has been a member of the Herding Group since 1936. It's appearance cannot be mistaken - almost "mop like" due to its long, super curly coat, which is also weatherproof. These dogs are very quick and agile, especially when herding. With a height of between 16 and 17 inches, the weight of the Puli dog ranges from 25 to 35 lbs.
The history of the Puli dates back to the Middle Ages, in the lands of Hungary. The original bloodline was a sheepdog which came from the the people of the Magyar tribes during the 9th century. These tribes occupied the central Danube area and had various types of sheepdog. It is said that the Tibetan Spaniel was thrown into the mix due to the resemblance of the Puli's body structure with that of the Tibetan.
The Temperament of the breed can best be described as curious, defensive, and energetic. They are somewhat headstrong in terms of attitude, and tend to be aggressive towards other dogs and strange people. This is what makes the Puli dependable watchdogs and fearless protectors.
