The Puli is a medium-small breed of dog known for its long, corded coat. The tight curls of the coat make it virtually waterproof. This breed dates back to the middle ages and is most likely the ancestor of the modern Poodle. Its original purpose was herding.

The Puli comes in white, apricot, and black. It weighs around 22 pounds (13 kg) and is about 16 inches (42 cm) at the shoulder. The coat needs considerable grooming to keep its cords clean, neat, and attractive, or it needs regular trimming to a short coat for lower maintenance, although the corded coat is what attracts many people to the breed.
