The Hungarian Puli is classified by The Royal Kennel Club within the smaller ageing band, typically weighing 10–15 kg as an adult. An ancient Hungarian herding breed instantly recognisable for its dense, corded coat that naturally forms rope-like strands, the Puli is agile, intelligent, and was traditionally used to herd sheep.

What this means for your Hungarian Puli

Hip dysplasia and progressive retinal atrophy (a gradual, inherited loss of vision) are both worth screening for. The breed's corded coat covers the ears and can trap moisture, making ear infections more likely if not managed carefully.

The distinctive corded coat needs specialist care to form and maintain properly, and regular ear checks are especially important given how much coat covers the ear canal.

When is a Hungarian Puli considered a senior?

Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, small breeds like the Hungarian Puli are generally considered senior from around 10 dog years old.
