Puppies
Our puppies
This is a very special breed that deserve special homes.
At Angyal Haz litters are planned well in advance. A lot of consideration goes into deciding which males to use with my females. With each breeding, I look to select a healthy male with a great temperament whose pedigree as well as his physical attributes complement the female.
Each litter is planned with the goal of excellent temperament, health, structure and true puli characteristics. The Puli is a special ancient breed. our gaol is to preserve all that make them special. We implement the Puppy Culture program with our litters.
All of our puppies will be temperament tested and structurally evaluated to better enable us to successfully match each individual puppy with their forever home. Before they leave for their new homes the puppies are permanently identified with a microchip, given a full vet check up. They leave for their new homes between 10 and 12 weeks of age. Angyal Haz puppies are sold on a AKC non-breeding agreement or a co-ownership along with a private contract and health guarantee. When new owners pick up their puppy they are given a three generation pedigree, written instructions on feeding, health care, training and grooming. Owners receive a copy of the results of health and genetic tests that have been carried out on the pup’s parents. Puppies go home with a supply of food, toys and a blanket that have their litter mates and dam’s scent on them.
If you have made the decision a Puli is for you, please contact us to with an email and let us know a little about yourself, why you want a Puli, where you live , what kind of home your Puli will have.
We will send you an e-mail with our puppy application.

How to choose a breeder
Are you ready for a Puli
You have decided you want to adopt a Puli. You’ve done your homework and researched the breed on-line and in books. You may even have met the breed in person and fallen in love with them. The next step is deciding who you want to get your future puppy from.
It is the recommended that you contact several breeders and make a choice based on the bloodlines used in the breeding, how they care for and raise their dogs, their interest in the breed and a meshing of personalities. We recommend that you select a breeder that is committed to health testing their dogs and sharing the results of those tests publicly. For more information on recommended health tests, please visit The Puli Club of Americas Breeder page . Try not to make a decision that is based solely on convenience of location or availability of a puppy as the primary factors.
Just as you will interview the breeder, be prepared to be interviewed in return. Reputable breeders care deeply about the dogs they produce and they want to be sure they go to good homes. You should be concerned if they seem more interested in a sale then about you and why you are interested in acquiring a Puli. A reputable breeder will want to be in touch with you for the dog’s lifetime and will always be willing to take back any dog they have bred if you are no longer able to care for your dog. A great breeder will always be interested in the lives of their puppies, and will serve as a mentor and a guide through the various training and grooming issues that may come up with your Puli puppy.
We encourage all puppy owners to join their local AKC all breed club and The Puli Club of America. Both clubs can help with puppy education and support.
Some guidelines to help you choose a breeder
- Responsible breeders plan their litters well in advance and will usually not breed until they have a list of homes waiting for puppies.
- Ask how many litters they breed in a year. It takes an enormous amount of time and energy to properly raise a litter of puppies, and the breeder should not have litter after litter available. Most will often have waiting lists for their puppies.
- If distance allows, make an appointment with the breeder to visit their dogs and meet the dam of the litter. Not all breeders will have the sire on the premises as many breeders choose to use studs owned by another breeder.
- Pay attention to how the dogs behave. Are they friendly to visitors? Meet all of their dogs. If it’s not possible to meet them all ask why? How do the dogs interact with one another? How do they interact with the breeder?
- Where does the breeder keep their dogs? Are the premises clean? Do they all live in the home or are they in a kennel? Ask to see where they are housed. When the breeder has a litter where is the litter raised?
- What condition are the dogs in? All the dogs should be clean and healthy, not just one or two of them and not just the ones going to dog shows.
- If the puppies are born and old enough to be visited with, observe what they are like. Are they sociable and alert? Are they in good health?
- Ask to see copies of the health clearances that have been done on the sire and the dam of the litter. The breeder should be happy to show you this documentation. Check the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) website or the Canine Health Information Center (CHIC), where you can look up the results on the dog by clicking on its name. You should see the results that have been shared publicly on the individual dog as well as it’s relatives.
- Ask how they raise their puppies. What do they do to socialize them? Do they allow for visitors? Are there scheduled visitation days? What is included with the puppy when the pup goes home?
- Ask whether the puppies will receive a health check from a veterinarian before going to their new homes. You should be given detailed information about any vaccinations your puppy may have received, any worming medication, the puppy’s weight at the time of the vet check.
- Ask to see a copy of the contract and make sure you understand the obligations of the breeder and the purchaser. Does the breeder offer a health guarantee? Ask to see a copy of it. The contract should state that the dog you are purchasing is a purebred Puli. The dog should be registered with the American Kennel Club.
- You may want to ask how the breeder is contributing to the preservation and betterment of the breed. Are they involved in a breed club? Do they attend shows, are they on the board, do they contribute to the newsletter? A good breeder shares the knowledge they gain from their experiences with others in the breed clubs that they belong to. They often write articles, organize and participate in club events and actively work to conscientiously promote the breed. They are not breeding with the sole goal of selling puppies for the pet market.
The Puli is a rare breed and it is typical to have to wait several months and even up to a year for a puppy. Be prepared to go on a waiting list. Stay in touch with the breeder while you are waiting for your puppy and if you are on more than one waiting list it is only fair to share this information with the breeder. If you end up getting a puppy from someone else you should inform the breeder right away. They could be turning away other good homes because your name is on their list and they had agreed to reserve a puppy for you.
Take the time to choose a breeder that you would feel comfortable having a relationship with. They should always be willing to answer your questions and should be generous and forthcoming in sharing the knowledge that they have about the Breed, their dogs and about how you can best care for your new puppy.
