The Puli coat can be brushed or left as a drawstring. If you plan to brush the coat instead of leaving it twine, start early and expect to brush every day or two.

The coat doesn't fall off much, but the laces must be separated regularly to maintain their appearance, and they attract dirt and debris. The Puli's coat should never be dirty, tangled or foul-smelling. To avoid problems, ask the breeder to show you how to care for the coat.

Check ears weekly for dirt, redness or odor that may indicate an infection.
