It took me 6 hours to groom a floor mop 

I was looking for a comment like this! I've only had my locs for 9 months and this reminds me of getting my hair retwisted the way she has to work on each cord one by one

I was looking for this comment! I almost expected her to braid and band the cords before washing 😄

My dog's fur has some similarities to hair of people with black descent (superfine, ultra curly, tangles like a MF when wet). I've considered asking the black community for care tips, but always worried that it would be considered rude. Really cool to hear that there are more parallels!

​@@rei_cirith Honestly if you look up what they and the Komondor look like when they aren't corded, the comparison is even more striking.

I was wondering how many people would notice that!

The cutest wee floor mop I’ve ever seen! She was such a good girl too, well done Francine 💞

@@jefftonsman For those stubborn spots!

I imagine the puli in rural areas of Hungary are still used as working dogs yeah? I bet this little lady is probably pampered and stays inside most days. Probably not herding animals although she might enjoy that kind of work.

@@Miss_Kisa94 Yes, you're right about them still working. In the are I live in (small town surrounded by lots of villages and farmland), I only see pulis as working dogs, herding animals.

This is also a very young dog, and it’s been my understanding (from a Puli breeder/exhibitor friend) that it can take up to five or six years to grow a full length coat.

My mom's family is Hungarian. I imagine maintenance of a Puli or a Komondor would involve a lot of shots of palinka (the native liquor).

​@@ShelleyScreen Then you know my wisdom. As a fellow Hungarian who lives abroad now, I discovered the amazing relaxing effects of pálinka on my head. Put some of it onto your forehead and it will relax your head in a few minutes amazingly. It even gets rid of headache. 😌 Also, ever since I started to watch this channel, I've been waiting for a proper Puli and Komondor groom. The celebration I did mentally and in the comments was great. 😂🤩

@@rebekadoczi2136 Full confession- I am Hungarian by... assimilation, shall we say. My mom is my dad's 2nd wife. But everyone was just like "okay, cool, you're one of us now." That's something you can't always get in other places. And little things like your tip about the palinka are some of the best parts- home-grown factoids that you can't get anywhere else. Also, the Komondor video- that owner must have the patience of a saint to have gotten a Komondor as his first dog ever.

@@ShelleyScreen well, we can be very welcoming. 😄 I mean, our country is a little, (weak) and barely known one. Every sane minded Hungarian leaves it because of the f@cked up government and those of us who are not assholes tend to be very helpful and welcoming with each other. The small village spirit and trust what people used to have in the past is something we still have in many parts of Hungary nowadays since we still have a lot of the "old ways knowledge" especially in the elderly generation. I just say this: 1. Never try to learn Hungarian because it has no right to be as hard as it is and I only learned english well when I was a teenager. 💀 2: Many spirits are a multitool basically. Mother now only uses pálinka if she has a herpes. it's good to use instead of aceton on nails, it disinfects your throat if you're sick (in old times people would boil up a little pálinka with honey and had that for sickness), nobody does this but TRUST ME, the well scented pálinka is heavenly in some hot chocolate, like cherry pálinka and it's even good with tea. Oh, and for muscle burn too after workout. It widens the blood veins. Anyway, ask away for further knowledge your Hungarian relatives because we know a lot of useful things regarding nature. Have a nice holiday, pal! Viszlát! 😄👋

​@@rebekadoczi2136Nos, eddig sose gondoltam arra hogy egy jó pálinkával zárjam az edzést, de mostmár van egy alternatívám ezek szerint 😂

There's a reason not to shame them ya know

Could you not have reported their lack of care?

@@vamp97 It was a tricky situation to say the least. There was definitely the concern that the lack of care provided to the dogs, trickled into other areas involving caretaking by the owners. I will reiterate that the owners I critiqued have zero to do with the video, in addition they were never "shamed" by our staff and I applaud Vanessa for showcasing a huge variety of grooms from which we can all learn while continuing to remind us gently to refrain from the shame and blame game.

For livestock guardian dogs in places where there's large predators, the cords are protective- the predator's as likely to get a mouth full of cords rather than the dog's actual body, helping to prevent serious injury. The dogs can also 'blend in' with the sheep (especially white ones)

It is also helpful in thermoregulating a working dog that is outside in both hot and cold weather.

her usual tip is a "deposit" from the pupper
