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 Azawakh
The Azawakh is an ancient Sahel sighthound: tall, ultra-lean and fast, bred by Tuareg nomads for guarding and hunting. Loyal and gentle with family but aloof with strangers, it needs secure fencing, ample daily exercise, a soft warm bed, and protection from cold due to its thin, short coat.
