characteristics. It has an elongated head with well developed muzzle. Its body is

and rodents. It is a noisy, barking breed, excellent for guarding the home; equally it
enjoys living in luxury.
Temperament
It has an excitable temperament. It is bold and fearless, and
therefore very useful for mustering large cattle.
History
The breed evolved during the 17th and 18th centuries by
crossing the Puli with prick eared shepherd dogs imported from France and Germany.
This continued for a long time, but it is now 50 years since the breed was separated
from the Puli and became a distinct breed.
