Don't know if you heard but Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg got a puppy this month.   His name is Beast and he is an absolutely adorable Puli puppy.   Of course Beast has his own Facebook page and as of this writing already has 64,100 fans!    Leave it to Mark to get a completely unique pup!   Not sure who is writing Beast's Facebook updates but they are pretty funny.   My favorite so far:   "I just took a dump and made Mark Zuckerberg pick it up.  It was glorious." 

 

Beast now:   

 

 

 

The Puli, also known as the Pulik crossed the plains into Hungary with the Magyards a few thousand years ago when they were commonly used as sheep dogs. The Puli was used mainly for driving and herding flocks, while the larger Hungarian breed, the Komondor, was used as a guardian for flocks. Many shepherds preferred the Puli, as they stood out easier among the flock, while the Komondor was used to blend in.   The Puli makes a very good watchdog, as they are very protective of their master and territory. This is a very intelligent breed making him fairly easy to train. Beast will be about 17 inches tall and weigh 25-35 lbs when full grown.   The Puli has a very unique coat. The coat is fairly weather resistant and is dense and profuse. The outer coat should be wavy or curly, while the undercoat is soft and wooly.
