Corded:

(Examples include Pulis, Komondors, Poodles): The corded coat consists of strong top coat entwining a soft, woolly undercoat. Typically breeds will not develop corded coats until adulthood. With age the coat can grow to the length seen in the show ring. Much care is required for corded coats to be properly nurtured and maintained. Frequent bathing is not advisable since shampoo does not completely rinse out, and the coat is very difficult to dry thoroughly. Avoiding fleas and skin problems is imperative.
