Absolutely!

I totally agree.

This is true!💖💖

Totally!

Maria G your comment sickens me. I’ve seen all his videos and he shows such kindness and compassion. Don’t know what your on about with the “yanking” of the ear hair but that is way more gentle then a lot of the other groomers you find on KZfaq where they grab and twist and rip all the ear hair out at once leaving the dog yelping. If you don’t like the content then don’t watch it, simple. Leave your negativity to yourself.

Maria G. These two are wonderful to the unfortunate dogs they help. They are kind and gentle and what would be cruel would have been to leave him matted. If the owner doesn’t bother to brush or bath him then I am sure he wouldn’t take him to the vet to be sedated. Please think before you trash talk these two. They are well loved and respected. Be nice please!💖💖

I did too ! 😁

I jumped too! I couldn't believe how fast he was and that there was no warning at all! Usually dogs growl, show their teeth, or change behaviour before a bite. He just went for it out of the blue. I'm glad he continued using the cone. I keep thinking how much better the dog must feel when every mat comes off. I wonder with dogs that are naturally supposed to have "dreds" how you know if it looks normal or they need to be removed.

@Mary Mcwhorter The collar of shame” comment was hilarious.

@Barb Henley unfortunately many people do no research They go by looks and how cute they are 🤬

@@XxxJaneXxx and often forget about how large they can grow or to factor in veterinary care not just food.

@@AnitaSouthall agree 100%

Puli*

I was wondering about how to take care of a coat that is supposed to look like dreads. His didn't look clean or neat; I have seen dogs that have very tight and smooth dreads. It's too bad he needed to shave him. It must difficult to keep a dog like that properly groomed.

@@kristypenner2753 it is. It's actually a little similar to natural hair dreads/locs on humans. The hair continues to grow so every so often the locs/cords need to be separated and twisted to encorporate the new hair growth or things start to matt together or some locs may thin at the top so may need joining with another loc to make sure they don't break off or put too much weight on anyone spot as that can cause irritation. You also have to be careful to may sure the pulis cords get completely dry otherwise you can kinda get mildew. In pulis that is usually Less chance of mildew happening as the natural oils help with that a bit like lanolin with sheep's wool. Lint is a really nightmare too. Its hard enough as it is everytime I brush my fine slippery hair I still get a ton of kind an cat fuzz in my hairbrush so imagine having a show puli and keeping them lint free 😹I had dreadlocks myself when I was 15/16 (my passport pic for ten years 🙈) but they didn't last as they were so much more work than I ever thought they would be but at that age sometimes you forget to look to the future when you're that young and it can often be all about the now. I also didn't 100% understand how some people may see it as problematic being as casper the ghost shade of Caucasian I am(not exaggerating I'm so pale my skin is translucent and I have to mix white into the lightest shade of foundation as well as use white powder and never leave the house without factor 50 as I have lupus and any sun exposure can illicit an immune response and actually scar) with deadlocks. I'm not against that I just should have at least tried to understand the conversation first if that makes any sense? Any way whatever type of beautiful creature this beautiful hair belongs to it takes some WORK that should be applauded and is it's own special work of art. Apologies for the long ramble there. Suffering major sleep deprivation 😹 I just love discussing the variety of nature that shares our world. Hopefully the puli in this video may perhaps move onto another home with someone capable of giving theme their crowning glory back but at the very least if not, that she understands she must take him to gave a full "puppy cut" frequently so that they don't suffer like this ever again. 🖤

I agree with you. My sister had a black puli and she was always separating “tearing” the cords. It didn’t hurt the dog. She always made sure that the Veterinarian knew that the dog had ten pounds of coat.

@@byrnep100 The poor thing having to haul around 10 extra pounds because your sister wanted them to look a certain way.

That is the natural weight of their coat. They are a corded dog breed. It is actually important it be thick. Their skin is at risk otherwise. I am actually quite surprised this grommer is shaving a puli as it is almost never recommended. That poor dog is going to be in more discomfort going forward. He chose the short cut instead of taking the hours required to properly bathe and groom such a dog.

Maybe the OWNER should be wearing a collar of shame ;III

I was just about to comment on how the dreads are wanted and typical for the breed (same as for the breed of Komondor) and not a sign of neglecting. It is made for protection from wild predators and weather as the Puli is a sheep protection dog, living outside in the field constantly. The dreads come when undercoat is naturally braided into the longer outer coat. So it doesn't make any sense to shave the whole dog. The only necessary thing would be cleaning up the butt area. Rest looks pretty normal. These dogs are made for looking dirty and they can smell badly when their coat gets wet. But that's just fine. A groomer should know all that before grabbing a clipper.

@@ranmakuro you are correct, but there are show dogs, there are working dogs and there are family pets. I suspect this dog is a house pet.

​@@libbyworkman1666 Still though this breed is supposed to look like this. It's harming to take that fur away. Just to be clear, this breed is one of the oldest in the world. Their heritage is likely 3000 years of breeding with corded fur, sources date the origin back to 900 AD. So just implying this might be a house pet does not necessarily reason to shave him over all. (To be fair, this is a natural working breed, not made for living inside permanently.) Please consider this is constructive criticism and not in any way intended to hurt feelings. This dog just needs to be kept in the way his ancestors used to be, what he is 'made for'.

@@ranmakuro I did some investigating on Google and you are absolutely correct. In fact Google says it is a big mistake to trim them.

Well said. Lots of Love and Respect from North America too.

the Hungarian Puli is a corded breed. this is totally normal for them, this groomer has no idea what he's doing and this is why I can't take my Puli to just any groomer because I've been working on his cords for 4 years and I would be so mad if I got him back shaved like this.

@@tomadumas2939 This dog is neglected. Yours isn't. What did you expect them to do with his coat?

The point I'm making is that this is what my dog looks like. My dog is not neglected. This is literally what a maintained puli coat looks like and you are ignorant. Do some research.

@kt1pl2 also this was like 8 months ago, do you not have anything better to do than to speak about things you do not understand?

Chows are crazy like pit bulls

I agree, I love Deedee, but after I watch her I am exhausted. She knows what she is doing but she makes me nervous…lol…Damjan and Sonja are much calmer.💖💖

@@sybilsmith5816 Damjan and Sonja are so calm ad patient , that is so nice to watch👍😃

Great dog. Seems to be enjoying the groom so far. You are both so kind and this pup feels the vibes.

Well said

This is one that has owners who could not afford to have him shaved. I will bet they are very grateful to be able to get their pet back without the dreadlocks.

You don’t groom a puli. They have dreds.

@@Dubbelmums every dog should be groomed..even a puli needs to be helped into the dreadlocks….and don’t forget the nail and ear care.

@@aak9563 , help with the dreds yes but not brushed and cut piles such as a poodle. You do not bathe a puli because it takes so long to dry it.

@@Dubbelmums you do groom a puli…you do bathe a Puli. We do 3 every 6 weeks who are show dogs. We help maintain the cords and keep everything else right. We also do 5 or 6 that are not kept corded. If you cannot maintain proper cords then they need to be clipped to a easier to maintain cut. And you 100%, bathe them as well. We also do a Komondor.,

@@Dubbelmums she clapped you with her knowledge

Great nickname, will it stick?

Thanks ☺️ I thought so too. It certainly suits them! I love the channel and all of the amazing work they do. Cheers from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Any dog in a new situation can nip in fear. I honestly thought this dog was very good. He seemed socialized, just not taken to the groomer.

Regular muzzle allows them to open their mouths for panting etc. Not faulting him you do what you can with what you have, just a heads up that muzzles are superior for the animals comfort.

@@tansiwolf8281 The tie muzzle is better at controlling aggressive animals and preventing serious injuries. Short term use is fine. How uncomfortable is all that (long term) matted hair?

@@tansiwolf8281 I actually prefer the cone.

@@deeannafreshwaters3282 Puli is a corded coat breed, they are meant to have cords, or dreadlocks if you will. Please research, tieing tne muzzle does cause problems with the animal not being able to pant and cool itself adequately, as I said Understandable in his case and wasn't finding fault, but honestly, the other muzzles are FAR superior. If I had the funding I would gift him a few, I greatly admire what he's doing for these dogs, unfortunately I am disabled and my income is quite tight.

@@tansiwolf8281 I am well aware that if you are not properly caring for a Puli coat that is dreaded that is far more uncomfortable for the dog than the short term use of any tied muzzle! If the dog had been stressed or over heated the dog would have drank the water offered but did not! Damjan made the correct call saying clearly that the binding of the muzzle was short term only.... aggressive animals are no joke and bites are dangerous. If that muzzle had not been tied a bite would have happened. I have seen many dogs get out of traditional style muzzles and attack people. Is the trade off, do you short term tie and groom or do you let the dog remain uncomfortable in matted hair? Matted hair and even groomed dreads are uncomfortable. As for the plastic collar, if the dog gets very serious it will not stop a bite.....vet clinic 101. You are right not to find fault in Damjan, it isn't his fault the owner didn't care for this dog therefore needing Damjan to help him.

I am a fan of the "pay as you wish" concept for dogs with owners. Allows people to pay what is within their means. But I don't know how such things go over in Serbia, since I'm saying this from an American perspective.

Surely you just search 'dog grooming' & this comes up. It does when I do that....🤔

Oh great!
