The Agile Herder Wrapped in Cords
Overview
Instantly recognisable by its long, corded coat, the Puli is far more than a visual statement. Originally bred to herd sheep across Hungarian plains, this is a nimble, quick-thinking dog with a surprising amount of speed and agility hidden beneath all that texture.
They don’t just move, they bounce, pivot, and react in a split second.
