What the Puli pricing tells you

The Puli (25-35 lb) is priced as a medium dog; bath, dry, and finish time all scale with that body mass.

Coat work matters next: Puli carries a curly coat, and the weekly schedule compounds the yearly total.

Temperament (Loyal, smart, home-loving) and lifespan (10-15 years) shape the real lifetime bill, a cooperative dog finishes faster; a nervous one may need more hands or a longer slot.
