Puli

The Puli is a small-medium breed of Hungarian herding and livestock guarding dog known for its long, corded coat. The tight curls of the coat, similar to dreadlocks, make it virtually waterproof. A similar looking, but much larger breed – also Hungarian – is the Komondor. The term used for a group of Puli is Pulik.

Description

Appearance

The Puli is a solid colored dog that is usually black. Other less common coat colors are white, gray, or cream (off-white or fakó in Hungarian). A variety of the cream-coated dogs have black masks. The white Pulis are not albino, nor do they have blue eyes. They commonly have dark pigment, black pads, black noses and black pigment inside the mouth. The white gene is recessive to the pure black gene. The breed standard is for females about 16.5 inches (42 cm) at the withers, and 17 inches for males. Females weigh 23-25 pounds, males slightly more. The coat of some Puli dogs can be different, thinner or thicker cords, either flat or round, depending on the texture of the coat and the balance of undercoat to outer coat.

Puli (car)

Puli was a microcar made in Hungary by HÓDGÉP of Hódmezővásárhely from 1986.

The car was 2.46 m long and was assembled using parts made by Škoda, Lada and Polski Fiat 126p available at that time in the country. It was propelled by a Diesel engine of 4 kW. The body was made from reinforced glass fibre. It was intended to be exported mainly to France where no driving licence was needed to drive that category of vehicles. The company's profile was agricultural machinery building and did not survive the political-economical transition of Hungary to market economy in the end of the 1980s.

An electrical vehicle was produced in 1991 under the name Puli Pinguin 4.

In 2006 the Puli (car) returned under the ownership of Prokop Gábor. Prokop holds Puli and Wartburg trade marks.
