The mats thus formed should be separated by hand very regularly at this stage. The clumps should be torn apart by hand from the tip to the skin. Each coat is individual but as a rough guide, these sections should not be made thinner than the width of a pencil. It is a relaxing and enjoyable process for dog and owner and if done regularly, takes little time. Keeping a fully corded Puli is very easy since they take little care apart from regular coat separation and, of course, bathing.
Bathing is as easy as washing a sweater but drying does take some time.
With a dryer a fully corded Puli coat will take several hours and without a drier can take around 2 days to be fully dry. The breed does not shed its coat. If you are allergic to dogs in general, you might try to see how you'd get along with a Puli since their coat is so different. A good breeder will let you visit several times by prior arrangement to see how their dogs affect you before you consider going ahead with a puppy. The Pulis crossed the plains into Hungary with the Magyars several thousand years ago where they were used as sheep dogs.
