Is the Puli Dog from America?
The Puli dog is not a native dog from America. They are an ancient sheepdog that was brought to American from Hungary many years ago. The dog’s function was to herd sheep by the Magyars. Their black coats helped them in wide fields while they were doing their work. Being quick and agile, they are able to change directions swiftly as the herd moves from one place to another.
There can be confusion between the Komondor and the Puli due to their mop like appearance with their dreadlock or cords, but their jobs were more specific: Komondors guarded the flock while the Puli herded them. These dogs are intelligent and lovable due to their puppy-like attitude with people. The breed can grow to heights of 16 to 17.5 inches for males and 14.5 to 16 inches for females. Respectively, they weigh between 25 to 35 pounds and 20 to 30 pounds with a life expectancy of 15 years.
