The Puli is a Hungarian herding and guard dog. The distinctive appearance of the Puli is due to its long coat, which comes in different colors and lengths. The Puli is a medium-sized, athletic, and symmetrical working dog with a strong, muscular body. The head is wedge-shaped and covered in a long, dense double coat of fur. A rare, uniquely colored white coat variant is known as the “Albino” and was once thought to be a separate and separate breed. There are two varieties of the Puli – the German Shepherd and the Laika. The German Shepherd is a medium-to-large sized, well-muscled, agile, intelligent, and loyal companion. The Coat of the Puli is of medium length, thicker around the neck and with softer undercoat. A longer coat (up to 3 inches) is typical for males, and a shorter, flat, and silky coat (up to 2 inches) for females.
