This breed is unknown outside Germany and is rare, if not extinct, even
at home. He had a wavy, poodlelike coat that tended to form in cords like
the Poodle, Puli and Komondor. In fact, he was probably related to the Puli,
as the importation and exportation of sheep between Germany and Hungary
was common. And where the sheep went, the sheep dogs followed. The Schafpudel
was a good herding dog with drop ears, long tail, and a gentle, tolerant
and affectionate nature. Unfortunately, there has been no record of this
breed for some time.
