Are these dogs real? With their incredible ears and curly coat, they look as if a cuddly toy has come alive. But beneath the cute exterior are active, intelligent, loving dogs with a herding history that dates back 400 years ago when the corded Puli was developed with other breeds, such as terriers and German Spitz.
