About
What is a Pumi?
Medium-sized, agile Hungarian herding dog known for its whimsical, terrier-like expression, distinctive corkscrew-curled coat, and high-set semi-erect ears with an alert, lively attitude
Pumi history and origins
Developed in Hungary during the 17th-18th centuries from crossbreeding the native Puli with German and French herding dogs and terriers. Used as versatile farm dogs for herding cattle, sheep, and swine
Pumi appearance and size
Males typically stand 41-47 cm at the shoulder and females 38-44 cm.
Lo que dice el estándar de la raza
- Criado para
- Herding dog of Terrier type. Also suitable for herding larger types of animals. His scenting ability is well developed. Has excellently proved his worth when combatting wild beasts of prey and rodents. Excellent house pet, can definitely be kept indoors. Needs plenty of exercise. Is an excellent companion and sporting dog
- Comportamiento y temperamento
“This rather lively herding dog has a restless temperament. Extremely bold, a little suspicious towards strangers. As a result of his sensible behaviour, his liveliness and his expressiveness, he attracts attention always and everywhere. The Pumi is rather noisy. His whole appearance embodies thirst for action and because of his restlessness and activity, all parts of his”
Quoted from FCI standard n°56. It describes the breed the registry recognises, not any individual animal.

Extraído de fuentes y no escrito como opinión — investigación de salud citada, el estándar del propio registro, y estudios de longevidad revisados por pares. Estándar de la raza, FCI. Los animales de un criador pueden diferir de todo esto, y una columna vacía significa que no tenemos nada de ese lado, no que no haya nada que decir.

Pelo y color
Tal como lo establece el estándar de la FCI. Cada línea de abajo está en las palabras del propio estándar, etiquetada con preferred.
Coat
The wavy, curly coat forms tufts and is never smooth or corded.
The coat has an average length of 4 to 7 cm, growing to smaller or larger tufts
it is elastic, shaggy and dense.
It consists of a strong, but not coarse, topcoat and a soft undercoat.
The dense, wiry protective hairs of medium length on the ears grow upwards.
The eyes and the foreface are free of long hair.
The desired coat preparation is achieved by hand trimming.
Smaller corrections, done with scissors on head and legs, are possible.
Preparing the entire coat with scissors is not desirable

Health guide
What to ask for in a Pumi
No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Pumi on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.
