The pumi breed can be traced back to the 17th century. This breed was born from the combination of the Hungarian shepherd dogs and the terrier-like herding dogs of France and Germany. The majority of the population is still found in Hungary today. Let us look at what YouTube has to show us about this fluffy breed.

Meet the pumi

In this video, you can learn all there is to know about the Hungarian pumi from Chris Levy, president of the Hungarian Pumi Club of America. Among other things, she talks about how the pumis have the same joy of life that terriers do but, at the same time, they have the temperament of a shepherd dog.

Moreover, pumis are extremely smart dogs, therefore very easy to train. Even though their name is similar to that of the pulis, and the two dog breeds do share many characteristics, the pumi is much easier to groom, and they do not shed.

Interesting facts about the pumi

Did you know that the pumi forms extremely strong bonds with its family? They are also very vocal, muscular and active dogs. Pumis are naturally suspicious of other animals, so they might not be very friendly with strange dogs or other animals.
