It has dark brown, almond-shaped eyes, medium-sized ears, and a tight-curling tail.

 The Puli has been a known herder as far back as the 9th century, preferred for its predominantly dark color that makes it stand out among the sheep, as well as its effective herding approach, which involved nipping at the heels or jumping on the back of sheep to make it change directions. It remains to be a competent herding dog, and tends to do quite well in agility and competitive obedience, and as show dog.

 Puli Exercise Needs

Mats and clumps in its coat should be taken apart by hand, while the corded sections should be about a half inch wide. A dryer should be used after it is given a bath, as the coat would normally take two days to dry naturally. Regular cleaning of the ears and eye area, and clipping of the nails, are a must.
