This Hungarian sheepdog requires dog food specific to their breed with controlled portions to maintain a healthy weight. Today, the Pumi is not as active as were their ancestors and need a reduced calorie diet to keep from becoming overweight.
The History of Pumis and Obesity
The Pumi is thought to have traveled from Asia to Hungary more than 1000 years ago. It has been determined, through genetic testing, that the Pumi has both the Spitz and Briard in their lineage. The Pumi were especially cherished for their herding ability in the mountains of western Hungary. The Pumi were nearly extinct following the ravages and lack of food during WWll; some Pumi were even shot by invading soldiers. The whimsical Pumi with his endearing curls is a beloved pet for families across Europe and the United States today. The Pumi is lively, bold and generally ready for action yet can be somewhat leary of strangers.
