17. Puli
The Puli is renowned for its thick, natural dreadlocks. These rare dogs are loving and nimble, though their coats demand meticulous care. Originally aiding Hungarian shepherds, Pulis are small yet tough, standing 16 to 17 inches and weighing 25 to 35 pounds. Their corded coat forms protective ropes against harsh weather and predators. Energetic herders, they often try to herd their families. Lively and bright, they bond closely with owners. Early socialization and consistent training are crucial for these independent spirits.
