What does PULI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A Hungarian breed of sheepdog with a long, corded coat.
The puli grows a coat that cords into thick natural ropes rather than loose hair, giving it a mop-like look that develops on its own without clipping, and that same coat protected the puli from cold and from the bites of wolves while it worked herding sheep on the Hungarian plains. The breed is prized today as much for that unusual coat as for its old working ability.
