Hello, I posted a message earlier about what to do to help with the cords on my standard poodle. I did read all the files available on the lists website & saw...
Keep in mind, I have pulik, but it sounds like you have done the right thing. Now, just let it grow. I wouldn't give him/her a bath too often, but maybe...
Carole Thanks for the reply. I'lll try the misting with water to see if it helps tighten them. She has always been brushed in the past and it may be that...
Hello all, I signed up with the group about 2 months ago. I have been reading everybody's emails and i still don't have a clue. i am not computer gifter enough...
Hi Diana, I have a komondor and am not sure if this will help. However, I was told that when the mats form, you simply pull it apart making smaller mats....
Would like to mention, also start the "cording" a little bigger than what you want the cords to end up like, once a cord is past the "puppy balls", as i call...
Re Diana's cording question I'm a Puli owner, and like the Komondors and Bergamascos, if the dog has a good ratio of soft underhair to coarser top hair, the...
I want to thank diana for asking her questions and for the responses. I sit and split my standard poodles mats every night and start to think I am totally...
Hello all, I have heard that Poodles do not form "divisions" so you can't see where the clumps of mat separate. I guess this is true of some Pulik and Koms...
... well absorbed, there is also another one called Show Sheen I heard about but have not tried. It is for horses and comes ready to use. **** Wow, Agnes, that...
Agnes, your post was very helpful Thank you. My poodle has formed natural clump divisions. It was these natural looking clumps that looked like they would...
I see occasional questions on this list about how to cord, like the recent one from Diana, and though this might seem like advertising, I'm hoping the list...
Yes, It was actually recommended for winter waterproofing as I live in Oregon and so of course my boys get wet. I have not purchased it yet, but it was...
I actually have a copy of this book. I was lucky enough to get it from my breeder when I got my Puli. I found the book to be excellent, very straight forward...
Striking the right cord is the BEST cording book by far, I have mentioned it in a past posting and highly recommend it. Agnes and the Mad Hungarians...
That's interesting. I can easily see how Show Sheen could be
useful keeping a fully corded coat clean. I don't think it
is an oil though. It leaves a shiny...
I am finding this discussing very interesting. I was told NOT to put moisturizers and oils on my Koms coat. Does anyone with Komondors use this stuff? Also,...
A BOOK? A BOOK! YES! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Who is the author? and can i get it at Barnes and Noble? Please respond. Diana Agnes Opgenorth...
Hello, thanks for your quick responses. i am so glad to hear there is a book. i sure appreciate all the resonses i've gotten. i wish i had written sooner. you...
diana, keep in mind that cording is a process. Once you get the process started you have to patient and wait because it won't look like cords right away. What...
I have reliable information that Show sheen will not make a Puli coat shinny. It was one of my concerns too, as I prefer a dull, flat coat color. I will be...
I use Boigroom Vital Oil on Luka this past summer, his undercoat was completely gone and his top coat especially in the places that get alot of sun where very...
"Striking the Right Cord" is a very good book and also inexpensive. You can order it from the Immerzu Puli Kennel web site. Agnes and the Mops SP we both love...
Corded dogs vary greatly in how fast they cord and how quickly their hair grows. Some cord young and fast, some start out cording as early as 6 mos but then...
White dogs of ANY BREED do get dirty faster than their dark haired brothers. I do have a gravel area for a dog potty, as urine getting on the cords and feet is...

The book, by our own wonderful listmember Stephanie Horan is supposed to be really great & I am sorry to have been so lame that I don't even have a copy after...
