Do you need to groom a Puli?

Yes, you need to groom a Puli, and it’s a time-consuming endeavor. The cords need to be separated and tended to daily to prevent matting. Since the cords are also debris magnets, they need to be cleaned daily to avoid becoming dirty and malodorous. A Puli who spends lots of time outdoors in muddy conditions may need to be bathed every six to eight weeks, but many only need a bath every four to five months. After drying with a towel, it can still take several days to completely dry, but keep after it — you don’t want the cords to get moldy. Frequent trimming will also help with dirt and odor on this breed.
