Summary
About Puli
The Puli is a compact Hungarian herding dog, agile and athletic beneath its famous corded “mop‑like” coat. Intelligent, independent and lively, it bonds closely with family, needs consistent training, substantial mental and physical exercise, and dedicated, specialized coat care.
About American Hairless Terrier
Small, lively terrier available in hairless and coated forms, usually 25–46 cm and 5–12 kg. Very people-focused, indoor-oriented, and low-shedding, often suiting allergy-prone owners. Needs moderate daily exercise, mental stimulation, skin protection, and consistent, positive training.
