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 German Spaniel (Wachtelhund)
Medium, robust German hunting spaniel built for dense cover, with a thick, weather‑resistant coat in brown or brown-white. Very loyal, often one-person focused yet family friendly. Highly energetic, driven working gundog that needs intensive exercise and meaningful tasks; still uncommon outside Germany.
