chained_bear commented on the word puli
A dog breed "brought into Hungary by Oriental nomads around the year 1000. It is very similar to the tibetan terrier," says Simon & Schuster's Guide to Dogs, 1980. "The puli is the smallest of the Hungarian sheepdogs... like a smaller version of the Komondor."
