HungarianPuli

Originally from Hungary, originated in the 10th century. It is one of the best Hungarian Shepherd Dogs. The Polis is a compact, square-proportioned, very well-proportioned medium-sized dog, with a remarkable appearance that makes it impossible to confuse with other breeds. The most conspicuous feature of the Polis is its coarse, unkempt coat, which, together with its silent gait and characteristic form of locomotion, makes it well suited for the difficult work of shepherding in the Hungarian steppe. The long, braided wool of the dog was considered a companion by the Maltzas 1,000 years ago, who often jumped on the backs of sheep on their return at dusk. The Polis is a rational and intelligent purebred dog that is particularly loyal to its owner. This dog is best bought as a puppy because it is affectionate, and when transferred over the age of 3, will not eat or drink because it misses its old owner and suffers from lovesickness.

The upper layer of hair is long and knotted into a hair rope, and the lower layer of hair is soft and dense like wool. The coat color is pure black, rust, gray, etc. The nose, eyes and lips should also be black, otherwise they are not purebred.

Ears positioned slightly above eye level, overhanging, medium sized, V-shaped, about half the length of the head. The skull is slightly rounded and of medium width. The border of the depression between the forehead and the muzzle on the head is clear, but not steep. The muzzle is hard and straight, 1/3 of the length of the head, and the nose is always black. The drooping upper lip and the dentition are also black or dark blue-gray. The drooping upper lip is taut. The teeth are full, relatively large, and have a tight bite.

If the dog's general form remains consistent in color, other shades of gray, black or white may be allowed within the larger black and gray. Regardless of the color of the outer coat, the entire pigmented skin of the dog is slightly light blue or light gray.

The dog is typically an active and athletic dog, with a light, quick gait and the ability to change direction instantly. The gait is most evident when the dog is trotting unhurriedly: the stride moves quickly and energetically, with small but never broken or unnatural strides. When running in large strides, the Polis moves forward smoothly and efficiently, the stride is freely extended and driven, and as the running speed increases, the feet naturally converge toward the center line of travel; its distinctive movement is essential to the Polis as a sheepdog. Originally bred in Hungary for sheep herding, the Polis is now accepted by pet lovers as an excellent watchdog, companion, and guide dog because of its intelligence and love.
