It doesn’t take much longer to bathe a fully corded Puli compared to any other long-haired dog. You do have to be sure to soak the coat well before soaping up, and you have to rinse and rinse the soap off to protect the skin. But then the fun starts, because drying the Puli may take several hours. Many humans gently wring out the cords a bit, then they may use towels to squeeze out more dampness, then on to the non-heat professional hair dryer for a session of gently drying your Puli while singing or talking to him. There are many clever variations to the process, but they all involve a number of hours.
It’s important to get that coat dry, because leaving it damp can lead to mildew.
The good news is that for some reason, the Puli doesn’t develop that typical “doggie” odor, and really, a Puli probably doesn’t require as many baths as most other breeds. And at the show, it doesn’t take long to get an already clean Puli ready for the ring.
