Care
Achieving a beautiful coat requires care. Puppies need regular baths, but their hair won’t yet form cords.
Around eight to ten months, Pulik start getting their undercoats. Their hair will begin to feel thick and matted, and those clumps of hair must be separated into quarter-sized sections to start creating cords. Mature cords shouldn’t get brushed, but occasional baths will help keep your Puli’s coat clean. Their cords will need occasional separation.
Pulik also require regular ear cleanings, nail trims, and a dental care routine that includes at-home teeth brushing and professional cleanings.
These dogs also have straight muzzles, hanging, V-shaped ears, and large, almond-shaped, dark brown eyes with black or slate gray rims.
