PRESIBENT'S MESSAEiB I

At the end of each year, or in the beginning of a new year, Presidents of Clubs, usually summarize all the activities of the previous year, or the goals achieved and outline plans for the coming year.

By reading Rob Sky's Puli Path column, and the article "How it beglm" . by Earl Gebhardt, it just came to my mind, that we have not given really thorough account of all the activities and achievements of the years. I believe, at each end of a year, the President should report to the Club, summing-up how many Pulik have finished in Conformation, how many Titles they have earned in Obedience, how many puppies were whelped, how many new members joined our Club, what types of problems we were facing, are there any more problems unsolved, etc., etc •.. ? ! ? Well, I cannot undo the past, but, I promise you that in a short time I will make every effort to provide the long-needed information ; as· I believe, it would be a goldmine for Historians, if they would be able to go through the December issues of the Puli Parades, and would find all important milestones there.

In Earl's article I recognized some of the people, I had the pleasure to meet them, and I had a feeling, it would be so nice to hear from them reminiscing about the early years of ou:r Club. This is an open invitation to all the so called "Old­Timers" if you have lovely memories of events, or any small incidents or anecdotes you can share with us, we certainly would appreciate it.

Before I gear up to the present year of 1983,let me express my admiration and happy sa t i sfac t io~ of t he past ye&r of 198 2. It was a ' bus y year, as you rea d it in the last issue of the Puli Parade. Connie Peterson collated the PNC's 1982 Title Holders; on the top of that , PNC' s "CH. WITSEND IL DE OF ERIDU CD" is reported in the February 1983 issue of Canine Chronicle as one of the Top Producers of Champions ••. Congratulation

The trip to Hungary last Summer, showed strong participation by PNC members, and proved to be very interesting and quite educational.

In October, 1982, PCA held their Specialty in Wisconsin, where quite a few members represented PNC,

But now, we have to concentrate on the present year and its events. PNC will hold its Third Independent Specialty Show, Obedience Trial and Sweepstakes on the 21st of April, 1983 in Santa Rosa, California, which will be followed by 3 more AKC Shows, Apr.22, 83 Wine Country KC in Napa;Ap~.2~,83 Chief Solano KC in Vallejo; and Apr.24,83 Sir Francis Drake KC in San Rafael, within short distance from each other; quite worth­while week-end to plan for and WIN ••• We count on every member, whether showing or not, we would like to see everybody in Santa Rosa, to help us to make this Specialty a succes s again.

PNC is also planning gometimes and picnic in conjunction with hazi from Hungary could judge. toward it.

in the Summer of 1983 to hold an all Hungarian Fun Match May Carpenter's Vizsla Club, where possibly Mr. Farkas­This is just a plan at the pres~nt, and we are working

Those of you who are actively involved in Obedience Competition, you have to make an effort to participate in the 1983 Dog Obedience Classic and add more winnings to the Pulik's good name. We definately need your strong Puli presence there, Nov.19/20, 1983.

DEAR REA DERS :

I would like to take the opportunity to express my elation for entrusting me with the Editor's Chair. Rob Sky built up quite a reputation during the years and brought Puli Parade to a high standard, which I intend to keep.

It is a challenge, but challenges always excite me. Naturally, my determination alone is hardly enough. I will need assistance from all of you ~y contributing interesting articles, Show Results, Titles Earned, information about Puppies In The Making and Puppies Already Arrived, and, of course, continuous installments of our Club's History from Rob Sky. Every effort will be gr~atly appreciated.

In short, let me outline what I have planned for the upcoming issues. I am still spellbound frem the trip we have taken last year, so I will prepare an article of my own impressions of Hungary. On the top of it, I have already started to write about the Hungarian Folklore, which really fascinates me, and finally, I will share with you my Hungarian recipes for your culinary enjoyment.

If you like any of the topics which will be printed in our newsletter, or if you have any comments or questions about them, or would want to give us additional related articles, I would like to encourage you to do so. This standing invi­tation and your genuine response will ensure great variety of reading material for all of us.

I am looking forward to giving you my very best effort to keep every reader interested in the Puli Parade. To reiterat~ my appeal to you, please mail all articles, Sho-w Results, Quips, Funnies, etc. to my address by the end of each odd month, which will enable me to fulfill my obligation to publish the Puli Parade on a timely basis.

Wishing you all the best in the NfN Year, with great anticipation •••

your Editor.

HE2 ~'17'1G I NSTI NCTS, TRIAL;; :\~D YOU R .S':'OC K OOG

(from The Jo rl d Of The ~orking Go g July/August 1976 i ssue )

BY George T . & Theresa Moore

Among the ear liest evidences of man 's re lat ively short ex istence on this planet , we find the close associat ion w ith his compan ion , the dog, prom inent ly d isp layed . Man found that dogs could be bred to funct ion happily and devoted ly as a worker , compan ion or pet . Dogs bred for such purposes as herd ing, hunt ing, guard i,1g ar.d tha li ke pro ed iriemselves in the field . The lines in wh ich these inst incts prevailed to a high degree prospered and were in demand.

As much of our wor ld became urbaniz ed , espec ially where breeding according to the rules of the sport prevailed, the pr ime goal in these work ing breeds , performance by a sound well-tempered dog , gave way in most breeds to type breed­ing. Aside from speak ing in generali ies , the major i ty of us who own herd ing dogs can not rea li st ically gauge how well the inst inct and abili ty to herd is stamped on our dog or in his li nes. Thus, the compet i t ion prov ided by herding tr ials f ill s a very important need .

Many people have expressed to us an interest in learn ing more abou t tr ials We sincerely hope by thi s art icle to pro­vide the reader both the informat ion on how to start work ­ing w ith your dog and whom to contact for more detail s. As our numbers increase . the opportunity for organ izing and holding tr ials w i ll grow as well!

H ISTORY The Bronze Age (3000 B.C.) primitive sheepdogs (Can is

famil iar is matris-optimae) rem ains were found and identi f ied by L. Jeittles in the late nineteenth century , at a si te in Mor­avia. Phys ica lly, sc ientists consider the prim it ive dog to have been short-muzzled , with erect ears. poss ibly short-coated and of med ium size. The history of man is rep lete w i th refer­ence to his use of dogs for herding. Greek and Roman farm­ers used them . By the f i fteenth century, Dame Berners l isted amon_g breeds in the Bri t ich Isles. the " Try ndel tay les" or long ta iled sheep dogs. In the six teen th century , Dr. Caius, noted a "bob tail tyke " as we ll as a " trundle tai l." Too . he ind icated t hat the " Shepherds" Oogge or Canis pastorl1s" was superior to a mongrel but these wor king shepherd dogs at the time had not ach ieved the stat s of dogs used for hunt ing by the nob ili ty .

r:,

Several centuries later , Buffon , the natural ist, cl assified dogs accord ing to the ir ears. and gave the sheepdogs a " h igh place" due to the ir usefulness.

When breeding for type bee. me an important fac to r at the beginning of the twent ieth century , dog experts began to realize that a great var iety cf shewdogs elC isted in rr.any parts of the world . They learned that these d ist inctive breeds were versat ile, be ing used for driving, herd ing, guard ing, and most adap tab le to police work .

In 1873, the Border Collie, or Work ing Co llie had already dist ingu ished himself at the f irst sheepdog tr ial held at Sa la, in northern Wates By 1876, the scene moved to London where spectators we re treated to a sheepdog tr ial on the lawn of A lexandra Pa lace. The fol lowing account was p blished in the L ive Stock Journal. "The dogs were so we ll trained that many spectators exp ressed the utmost astonishment at the intell igence they d isp layed ." Indeed , a tar cry from Or. Caius' account of the status of " shepherds dogge."

F i~r• 1. Demonstrat ion 1howing th ree Border Col li es using their "ey1" to mo,,,1 and contain shtt? . ThMe mrN Scott ish im ports an o,;,ned by L es Bru n, Bodega Bay , Cali forn ia.

TRA I; IN G Wh il e the Border Colli e is second to none in h is perfor m•

ance here and abroad , other breeds noted for herd ing ab ili ty such as he Austra ili an Shepherd , Co llie, Corgi, German Shepherd, Old Engl ;sh Sheepdog, Puli, Ro:tw eil er , Shet land Sheepdog, to name only a few are joining the f ield of com· pet it ion . Today there is a grow ing interest by fanciers in mov ing the ir herder or drover dogs into the sheepdog tr ial arena.

Before successful competition can be accompl ished, the herd ing inst inct (i n any dog) must be evaluated and ult im· ately tested in some form of compet i t ion . In sheepdog t ri als, as with other phases of competi tion . the handler and the dog must work together as a team, and most important, the hand ler must learn to depend on the dog's inherent intelligence. What can I do? Where can I go to learn about th is train ing for me and my herd ing dog?

Today, the answer can be found by read ing the many book s and pamphlets on the subject (see part ial I ist at the end of th is arti c le) . A lso several organizat ions throughout the country, common ly referred to as Stock Dog Fanciers, can be contacted . Th is is der ived from the or iginal organi• zat ion, the Stock Dog Fanciers of Colorado. Their basic purpose was to establ ish an env iron mental setting for their city dogs to work wi th stock, including duck s, sheep , goats, cattle , p igs and horses. Tr ials are held, although, not the for• mat variety assoc iated with the Border Co llie. However, wi th the words of " Happy Herd ing" , the group has ex tended their en thusiasm into many reg ions of the country .

The herd ing inst inct , in vary ing degrees , st ill remains in a large number of work ing dogs. I t is inher ited from the stalk• ing inst inct in the wolf. Even though your dog has never been seen, let alone be near, a "live cr itter " such as a goat, sheep or calf , he may instinctively work to move it when the opportunity is presented . To discover thi s unique ab i li ty and learn more about it . attend a herding dog cl in ic or train• ing club session in your area, where stock will be present , as well as instructors and those w i th some exper ience, if you have the opportunity . At these clinics, an emphasis is p laced on educat ing the- inexper ienced to the total herd ing scene.

An introd uctory herd ing clin ic might be hand led li ke this. First, the group of about a dozen dogs w i th herding instincts and the ir handlers are located arou nd a fenced enclosure or corral contain ing stock. The purpose is twofold . First to give instruction and out li ne the goa ls. Wh i le all is calm, the second natural phenomenon occurs. Most of the herd ing dogs beg in to take not ice of the an im als in the enclosure and some intently focu s on them, commonly referred to as "turning on" . Every " pupil" is given the opportunity to work these flock ing animals such as ducks, sheep, goats and /or catt le during the day, but always w ith an exper ienced person in the ring to gu ide the novice.

However, a successful performance here is by no means a signal to run off to the first herding trial you hear about. The road ahead is long, training and more train ing. As in all dog work, this requires pat ience, understand ing , love, and many hours before you even begin to think of part icipat ing in a tr ial. Then, how to begin?

The first requisi te is space. Within reason, this can be a fenced yard . A circu lar enc losure is conven ient as the lack of ang les elim inates the problems of cornering completely. You need an enclosure wh ich can be any thing from a large box to a portable pen about 3 x 5 feet w i th one end of the short d imension ," either open or hinged to allow closing the gate. A staff or pole is usefu l for it al lows you to m aintain a " portab le barrier" between the an imals and stock , d iscipline your dog, by strik ing the ground, N EV ER him. and in an emergency an extra long arm . Ducks, al ways an odd number. 3 or 5 work well within dimensions like these. If the dog is campaigned in conformat ion, avoid catt le until you and your

7

dog are exoer ienced . An untrained dog with larger an imals shou ld always •be kept on leash or ot erwise he cou ld be injured , most damaging to a show dog physical ly as welt as psychological ly . Loss of tee th after be ing k ick ed is not uncommon .

While each breed , classified as a herder or d r6ver, may possess a herd ing inst inct, certa in breeds are best at "head ing' (in sheepherd ing i t is called cas ting) . that is he dog runs to the head of t e stock to tu rn it and " heeli ng"• mean ing to dr ive th e stock from beh ind , often times n ipp ing at the heels as the Welsh Corgi is known to do. Bo th are acceptable methods to move stock . Each breed w ill have his own style, the most well-known of these is the " eye " which the Border Collie uses successfully by zeroing into the herd w i th his d irect approach. Most breeds can be tra ined to head and heel.

Among the flock ing animals are a w ide range of habi ts and temperaments, i.e. dairy cows are gentle compared to open range catt le; the Rambou illet sheep can be w ild as opposed to L incolns; and Musckovy ducks have a tougher disposi t ion than Mallards. Therefore, in troduction of your dog to stock should take into consideration age, for a young­ster can become fr ightened by more aggressive an imals, d ispos iti on and leve l of training.

For those fortunate enough to be livi ng on a ranch or farm, or in a rural community , the problem of locat ing stock does not ex ist . You are the fortunate ones.

L iving, in an urban area, however, w ith an average-sized lot, under an acre , and with zon ing regulati ons that restr ict the number and k inds of an imals housed on your property, then you need to be ingen ious . persistent and possibly lucky . It may be necessary to develop your own tra ining program w ith small an im als such as ducks w ith the i r fl ight feather cl ipped . The hours will be long and the extra work of keeping the fowl will be burdensome. You may well not f ind others having anyth ing more than passing interest in it . On the other hand , y ou may be lucky and reside in an area where there is a Stock Dog Fanciers Assoc iat ion or sim ilar organization forming or in ex istence. Join ing such an organ• izat ion , assu ming they are tak ing new members . wou ld solve many prob lems. Therein you cou ld have access to l ivestock (and of course the fun of maintain ing them). comradeship and knowledgeable people with whom to work .

Tra ining a dog to herd on a work ing ranch or farm can begin at the age of four to six months and cont inue until he has develot;>ed the ab ili ty to herd . A super ior herd ing dog, whil e obed ient to commands, must also learn to thin k and act for him se l f in actual work ing situat ions, that is to rely on his own judgement. One expert states about 35-45 hours of training sp read over a per iod of months may be suff icient to train a herding dog. Pups w ith strong herd ing inst incts, put w ith an older exper ienced dog w i lt learn more readily. For the f ield dog, the end result w i ll be that training while not perfected to an art w ill enable your dog to accomp lish the tasks given him. On the other hand , t rain ing for herding tr ials which begins in the same manner, will require more effective hand li ng from you and more polished results from your sheepdog.

The first and foremost step in tra in ing is to teach your dog, the " down" command . Th is we stress as it is a method of control, so it is important that he learns to respond to the command immediately . When th is is accompl ished, you can move on to the "come" command, aga in work ing on leash, and it may be done without the use of stock an imals.

" Heel ing" can also be taught on lead, w ith the dog moving close to your side, either side, and be ing allowed to "wear" (moving from side to side). This method is employed by herd ing dogs as they drive , and is espec iall y helpful in keep­ing the herd together. When these lessons are learned . you then will need to introduce him to stock , usually, the more qu iet an imals first. F irst introduction to stock shou ld be on

In most ins tances. i t is well to work your dog w ith stock , near fences. as then the stock are more eas ily hand led part • cularly in the ear lier stages. Tra in your dog to br ing the an im als to you with the "come" command. Fo llow th is with the "right". "left" and " around" using the appropri ate arm commands , also. These tell your dog the direct ion you want him to move the an imals. The fetch comm and is used to send him out w ide to reach the flock and dr ive them to­ward you. "Go back" w ill tel l your do_g, he has m issed some of the strays, and must go out to retr ieve them. For general training, "slow". " steady", "stay" are also useful commands.

Once you have passed through these steps, the last step is penn ing. Work ing with improvised equ ipment, you and your dog, can go through the steps to ga ther. to drive through gates and panels, into chutes, and f inally into a pen. From that poin t on , you w ill have a work ing, herding dog, or one who w ith cont inued pract ice can move into the tri al arena.

The Border Co liie is tra ined by a set of standard ized com mands wh ich of course are adaptable to o ther breeds as well..

COM E BY - dog moves left and clockwise around the stock WALK ON • dog wa lks stright to the stock from any direction Your dog must be ou go ing. neither d isinterested in the

work . as are studs commonly . nor a dullard. Many consider females best as they do not attempt to mark. the world with their scent. However, un less you have all femal e dogs and no strays or coyotes to give chase , the sem i-annual heat period w i th bitches is a prob lem. Of course you must accep t the fact too that as most breeds now are bred for type under a standard and the herd ing instinct is given on ly lip service. you may have a " dummy" whose instinct is weak.

Of utmost importance in training any dog, is your consist­ency, pat ience, love and timing. Never overwork or t ire your dog, or the stock . Last ly even i f you begin to feel agitated, stop the session and take it up aga in at some other time.

TRIALS Fun tr ials and matches are open to herding breeds through

stock dog organ izations or tra ining clubs. You may f ind many of the herd ing or drover dogs part icipat ing. Wh ile each has i ts own un ique ab ili ty to worlc in a certain style, still he must be trained to hand le the stock in such man ner that is cons istent wi th the tr ial r les. A t such co pet iti on, young dogs are judged on the same bas is as experienced ones.

There may be a " Novice" Class that perm i ts you to work your dog on lead , i f you choose, wi h ducks, catt le or sheep. The dog must obey al l commands given by vo ice , wh istle or hand signals, and be under the handler's control at all time. Con es tants draw for order of run and stock before the class

begins and shou ld be ready to enter the cour se when the preced ing con es tan s mo es in. In hese even s, you cannot use a staff . The hand ler has no ass igned place on the cour se excep when he m st open or close he pen gates at the start and e conc l sion . However. t i e is on ly sed 1n thee ent of a tie to determine t e w inner .

The dog is scored for att it de , alert ess. concentrat ion, obed ience, tra ining, as well as rno ement (ga it ing is prefe r•ed and hen a trot , last ly a i ast r n) . I f the dog is excess vely .,01sy , uses force , or 1s over-directed , points are lost . Bit ing or us,ng ex cess ive force on t e stock may be causes for d isqual, f icat ion.

In add i t ion to t he Novice, the t r ials prov ide a variety of other classes, certainly one to su i t your level of tra ining. If you ave a tr ined dog, you may enter him in one of them. For example, the Austra ili an Shepherd Club of A merica offers the i oll ow ing classes : Started Dog : Your dog ay be any age , sligh ly tra ined , and ab le to work off lead w i th ducks , cat t le or sheep. Prom ising Dog: This class is designed for dpgs under two years of age, that are able to work w i th conf idence. H is tra ining must be more advanced that the started dog. Only cattle and sheep are used in th is class. Open Dog: The dog must be exper ienced in working cattle and sheep . He mu st take commands prof iciently but not yet ach ieved cert if icat ion . Proven Dog: L imited to dogs whose proven work ing ab ili ty has been cert i f ied .

As w ith many activi tes in the dog world, you may have a w inn ing dog ak ing home trop ies and r ibbons for your team ef ort . But, even the most experienced dog, here, too, may have an off day . So there is always tor1orrow!

Exce llence in herding abi li ty, sheepdog tri als and the Border Co llie are v irtually synonomous. The reason for th is was a closely contro lled breed ing and registration pro­gram ,n England conducted by the Internat ional Sheep Dog Soc iety (I SDS) . When contact w ith the Br it ish Isles was at best d i ff icult dur ing Wor ld War 11, breeders in the Un i ted States estab lished the North American Sheep Dog Society (N ASDS) and a registry . It is the on ly soc iety in Amer ica recogn ized by the !SOS. 1he NASDS has three classes of off icial tr ials:

I - North Amer ican Supreme Championship Sheep Dog Tr ials (by inv i tation only).

11 - Champ ion Sheep Dog Tr ial (reg ional tr ials) . 111 - Off icial Cooperat ive Championship Sheepdog Tr ials

(local tr ials) . An off icial tr ial, limited to Border Co lli es registered by

the Society cons ists of four parts Gathering , Driving, Shed­ding and Penn ing (See F igure 5) . A total of 60 points are awarded The number of po ints for each phase is ind icated in paren theses below. GATHERING - Before the dog is sent out the handler takes

a posi tion beh ind the shedd ing ring . Three or f ive sheep are located in the area of lift, not less than 150 yards from the center of the ring. When everything is set, the Course Director signals the hand ler. The Outrun (5) begins. The dog can move either to the right or left but must carry on a direct line "wide" and "beyond" the sheep before circling to come up beh ind. The dog's come-on to the sheep for Lift (5) should be cautious ano balanced on the flock. This will perm it him to beg in moving the herd steadily and under contro l.

THE FETCH· Shou ld be along as stra ight a line as possible from the point of lift to the handler. ( 1 O).

DRIVING· With the handler stand ing beh ind the shed­ding ring, the dog is sent out to drive the sheep away to the left, across through both gates. The dr ive is completed when the

PULi VERENIGING NEDERLANDaa •

Early last Spring Barbara Edwards c8lled to tell me that she read an interesting artic l e about "Pulis in Holland" by G.D. Kakebeeke, in an Australian newsletter, "The Global Puli". Knm,iing that we were pla nning to visit old-time frie nd s in Holland, Barbara suggested we should attempt to see s ome Pulik in Holland , if it is all possible. Our Summer pla ns were to stop-over in Amsterdam before we fly to Budapest, where we were t o at tend the Breeders Conference and ~n International Dog Show. The idea was really nice and da ndy, however, the Global Puli did not iridic ?.. te t e au t h- r ' s a:::c.;:-ess , so we f ~c ~d a en o rm-:,u s task t o find it. Luck was with us, as Julius came up ~ith the address within a couple of weeks through a col legue of his in the office, whose niece is employed by the Dutch Telephone Co. It worked like a charm!

Our adventure in Holland started to form in our minds. c.o. Kakebeeke replied i mmediately, and extended a hearty invitation to us, to visit with her a nd she promised to make a r ound call in Holland and try to gather all the available Puli People who are not vacatio Ging abroad.

After a l ong flight fr om the States, we arrived on the 9th of Aug. 82 in Amster­da m, hoping to find Conny Kakebeeke at the Schiphol Airport . It was like a dream! There was Conny standi ng with her 2 lovely black, corded Pulik, next to her another good looking Puli with a young man, a nd a couple,seemingly searching for someone in the crowd. We started to wave frantically tm,iard t hem. When they acknowledged our gestures, and were able to read my huge, pink button on my jacket,which said: "I LOVE PULIK" a unique, unexpected t hing has happened. All of us felt like we had known each other for many years. After hugging a nd kissing, these good people, members of the "Puli Vereniging Nederland" club hauled us and our luggage into tw o station wagons, a nd drove us to our Hotel, where finally we set around a large table and chatted for hours, si pping good drinks.

Plans were made to see windmills, t he sea, the world fa mous smallest city, t he Madurodam, and of course , t o visit other puli People in the country. Next day we were on our O'Nn, and have seen the beautiful Museums, and took a Candlelight Tour of the Ca nals of Amsterdam. The day went fast , it was most e njoyable.

The crown of our short visit co Holla nd was the follow ing day , which will a lways be unforgetable.

Frans & Susan Shieldkamp of Rijswijk came to our Hotel ear ly in the morning, picked us up, drove us to their lovely home where we enjoyed their hearty hospitality, then we drove to Den Haag, where Conny Kakebeeke joined us with her 2 Pulik, CH.Terelo­puli Bojtor G & G (the G-s are for Obedience titles), and his brother, Ch. Terel~­puli Ficko. Their sire is Ch. Templomke rti Juhaszbojtar, and their dam is Ch. Bel­zebub Cuki Bogancs, from the breedings of Mrs. M. Kocsis and Petho of Hungary. On the way to the seas hore , we visited Mrs. Mary Metaal-Nogarede, from her kennel we have seen a nice, typy black Puli, Pusztai Berci, whose handler, Peter Munchheimer was very proud of Berci, as in Holland there are not too many black Pulik. Berci is a grandson of Pusz tai Furtos Fickb, of Sara Nagy' s breeding. At the lovely seashore, we had a great lunch at the Schevingen boulevard and talked endlessly about Pulik.

The after noon brough t us more pleas ure. After visiting the unbelievable Madurodam, the sma llest city in the world, our hosts drove us down to the Be lgi an border to meet t he Roelo fs family, where six cute white Puli puppies have started their busy a nd happy lives. Truus and Pim Roelofs' coun try home and large ke nnel in Heythuysen are i mmaculate radiating real Dutch hospitality. One canno t find words enough to explain t he warmhearted frie ndship what the Roelofs have offered. It was quite interesting to observe, t hat the majority of their Puli stock is white. Contrary to the American frie ndly Puli image, we have seen in general in Europe a reserved t ype of Puli, wh ich was unusual. Nevertheless, when Julius was trying to show, how the American Pulik are handled in the Show ring in the US, to our great surprise t he white Puli responded quite nicely, even though Julius used English or Hungarian coCillll.3.nds.

There was one black Puli prese nt at the Roelofs house, the owner drove from Brussels to meet us, which was very nice of her.(Jeanette Schmidt)

Talki ng t o t he Puli People in Holland, it became clear, that at the present there is nob ody breeding black Pu lik, a nd t he Roelofs family is t he only s ource for white Pulik , The Dutch Puli Club has app rox. 2 Club-Days a year, wi th a match t ype event, t his is the only way they keep track of each other. Conny expre ssed her concern ab out the decline o f t he Pulik in Holland, and hopes t hat gradually a ne~ gene ration may pick up the interest for Pulik to save the breed for Holland.

Obed ience was a t op ic which all t he Puli Peop l e enjoyed in Holland. There are no Obed ience Trials held there, and they would very much like to have correspondence with American Obedience people. With the exception of Conny and Frans, all the other people did not speak English. One can get away with Germ.an howe ver.

The language barrier did no t show at all, and we were quite grateful to our hosts in Holland, and already have received their invitation to visit Holland in the coming Summer . Unfortunately, this year we have many other major events going on, but hopefully, in a couple of years time we may be able to see our Dutch friends again .

Hl1 RIA I

One cannot suppress human nature 's grea test force, t o be inquisitive. I t was, and is the driving e nergy, t hrough thousands of yea rs, behind evolution. The search fo r knO"wledge stems back to primi tive culture and flourishe s through centuries t o modern times. Questions a re being asked, res ea rch is done to understand t he past a nd reach out to the f uture. The ins atiable cravi ng to fu lfill our desires a nd yearnings fo r answers is transparent.

The se t houghts came in mind when I was looking at t he title of this column. Heritage! What is heritage? Acco r ding to Webster it is: "p roperty that descends t o an heir; legacy .•. " I feel, t o dissemi nate the wea th of t he old country 's legacy is compe ling to t hose, who may have t he ability to present it with humble ness, to emb race the depth of this unique nation ' s gift t o mankind. I a c r eferring t o the Arts of Hungary. Furthermore, what can t he eternal love for our Pulik do for us? I am convinced i t can open the door to many mysterious fields, which eventua ly will fo rm into a cohesive unit of knO'IJledge, and will gi ve a be tter understanding of Hungary and of t he Hungarian peop e , where our lovely Pulik a re coting from.

While visiting in Hungary last su.aur.e r , I was over;1helmed by t he powerful fo lklore art. I must admit, tha t was the first time it effected me to t his extent , i.nspite of the nur~er of ye ars I have spe nt in Hunga-ry in my early youth. :lay be l ·..ias in· olved only in che so called f i.ne arts. ,·evertheLess , folklore art has innumerable fa ce ts, ref lecti.ng the mood of the people fr om bi r h til l de ath , t hrough good t imes a nd throug disasters. How fascina ting it w~s to observe the represe ntation of many branc .es of folklore exp r essions i n pottery, enbroide ry, paintings , t he intriguing wood carvings, s culptures a nd a great dea of ot er as pects of ar ts, such as poetry, t heatre, music a ~d dance.

Fr om the ?rimitive, se lf -taught culture to t he most sop .isticated , artistic civilization the innermost feelings of t he Hungarian soul radiates in glo...ing br illiance.

With this sense of sentiment I have decided to s hare with you a small fragment of the lovely Hungarian fo lklore. To create something beautiful was always a deep desire of t he human beings. The joy and satisfaction of a finished, ha nd ­made article surpassed any i magination. Every sing le piece of work was made with e normous p ride , and was bragged a bout. Yet, each reg ion of the country was able t o keep a very unique and significant style . The design on the c over of t his issue of Puli Pa rade is a t ypical example of t he deve ope and used style i n a pa rticu ar town, which is: Dravaszog. It r e resents a table runner with motif taken fr om a kerchief f or t he head. One can no ice a ~ligh t asymn:etry i n t he embroidery , which actually verifies the authenticity of the work.

Now, one might as k, what has all t h is to do with Pulik? Well! The Pu lik always were t he t rue and faithful fr iends of t he Hungarian people. The y have taken active part in t heir lives, yet stayed humb yin t he background. The shepherd's life would no t have been complete without the strong and steady help of his Pull. Numerous true stories of the Pu lik s hould attest t o t his fact. Fr om t he s mall villages to the metro olis of Budapest, one can f ind t he Puli exuding to ma.Ke place for him.self in t he hearts of the people.

lL

In closing , may I offer a few thoughts to ponder . Why have the Hungarians sur­vived through centuries? Why can the Puli live forever in the hearts of thei r masters? Through the Great Migration the Magyar tribes traveled maµy thousands of miles before they settled in Pannonia. They brought their skills , thei r households, their animals to the new land , then fought with s uccessful, heroic · resistance against many different forces, to establish a permanent home. In my humble view, determination and an extremely high pride gave strength to survive the hectic centuries. The nationa l pride of the Magyars must have been approved in heavens, as thi s smal l nation succeeded to exist through the severe centuries .

I strongly believe, the Hungarian heritage can offer all of us a new symbolism to accomplish different goals, to adopt various new concepts in our lives, and consequently give us a better interpretation of love and appreciation of our Pulik on a renewed level, to sustain the original traits and to better our breed , and one should not forge t, to be ve ry proud of them .

Cne afternoon i n 1 96 5, I went to a dog s how in San Jose. Cnly one breed did my heart look for ••• the pu lik.

There it began •••

FROM l{Y NOTES - OOCTOR IVAN MARKI - DEBRECEN. HUNGARY

Almost on the eastern border of Hungary, close to the triangle point where Hungary meets both Ru.m:inia and Russia, is the beautiful old city of Debrecen. It is here, in this in::.portant city to the history of Jiungary, we are to meet Dr. Ivan Marki who was instrumental to the development of the Puli in Hungary. Some fifty years ago, Dr.: fi!:rkl was .one of three men who collaborated to write

-the first official Hungarian Puli Standard. A bandsome man, 'full of old world cha:nn, one is immediately aware he is our breeds' best ambassador. Still active in the Debrecen Dog Club, Dr. Marki and several other heroing dog breeders travel with us to the Hortob{gy, a government preserve and national park. In this same general area we are directed. to the ~lub's csarda. We follow a delicious aroma over a dark pa.th through a wooded area. Our Hungarian hosts have prepared --a wonderful goulash in an out-of-doors open fire pot. While I hoped to learn everything possible a bout the Puli.'I{ -of Hungary, Dr. Marki wanted to teach us how to properly drink Barack pa.linka or apricot brandy. It is very powerful, 180 proof, and one does not sip it from the very small glass. You must throw it down because it will burn your lips. This same drink is what starts a farmers day on cold mornings.

It wasn't long before I was calling Dr. Marki, Ivan Bacsi (Uncle Ivan) -. He tali<:d_of P,~lis and Pumis_~hile sketching a moving Pllli for me. He is very spec1f1c about what a Puli should look like. Communication could have been a problem but Terry Hidassy translated for us on the proper Puli size and coat a?pearance: Bitches are too big if over 15 inches. Ma~es should be no larger than 17 inches. Too small is never a problem. Too big is. You lose agility. Bone size should not be too heavy. I quickly learned. what "nera". meant as he looked at pictures of Pulis. Get rid of dead hair; on cords you must break off the dead ends. Scissoring and then brushing is.just not done. You must begin with the puppy coat - or it will become dead hair in the cords eventually. As he looked· at photographer Jim Gallea's prize winning shots of Pulis at work with ca.tile, he was horrified at the length of the cords on their tails. "Nem, nem! ", or in other words, · ho, no, too long. Keep the cords shorter on the tails and make them look fuller. Tail cords should never extend beyond the length of the rear body coat or it "looks like a train."

Mrs. - Kl£ri Polglry, a Pumi breeder, began to answer questions about the or1g1.n of Purnik. There is more tD~n one theory; 1) Pulik left Hungary and were bred to terrier types in France and Spa.in before coming back over the-Pyrenees to Hur.gary to be called ?umik; 2) Pulik bred to prick eared shepherd. types during the last century in ?ranee and Ger:na.ny. Les Benis ela'l::orates with the follow-ing infer.nation. "My recollection is that they got bred to the French and Cer:nan visiting shepherds terrier type herdir_g dogs. During big agricultural fairs where they all would herd their sheep on foot, sc:newhere in Central 2urope._" I ventured the opinion that Pulik and Pumi~ could have been accidentally inter­bred in the last eighty years. They did not ~ant to discuss it or oddly enough, even ad.Jlit that rludis exist. After readiri_g all three Hungarian Standards, I get the imnression mistakes were ;nade when separating them into the three breeds. This t~ip convinced me it is a small problem but still somethin.g to contend with in any serious breeding program.

/ Ivan Ba.csi is concerned that the national animal magazine, A Kutya, in recent years, does not feature the Puli or even show Puli pictures. He felt ~e could influence the government if we wrote and raised the question of why not. He also suggested that too much in -breeding of Pulik and Pwnik by the Horto'cagy

, shepherds is being :permitted. That the unique abilities of the Puli are being lost as are the specia.l qualities of their national breed. Since the govern,.-,ent is spending money to revive the Hortobagy, the :purebred Pull should be preserved there. He hopes we will help by sending donations a:1.d specifying they be used to promote the purebred working Puli.

I now digress to the Hortobagy to give readers an idea why this is so important. This extremely large plain (puszta) where shepherds once worked with Pulis more than a hundred yea.rs ago is being restored to what it once was. It is also a marshland where reeds could be obtained to form roof thatching and there is plenty of grazing land for the ancient racka (Hu...~an sheep) and szuxke gyulya. (cattle). The racka are black coated with a reddish tinge to their coats which reminded me of' a 1:a.d.ly matted Pull coat. Villagers would weave rough

18

blankets and coats from their wool called guba. These sheep al.most becar:ie extinct when they were replaced with i mported, better wool produc i ng sheep. The same thing almost happened to the ancient cattle. This St.L-n::ier we saw some of the four hundred now left in Hungary. This creati..µ-e is i m.,~ense and not somethi:ig you would walk up to so it is hard to describe their actual size. The topline ~.ay be five to six feet high with an enormous head with horns. ,

As ,.;e d.ro·.re onto the Hortocagy National Preserve, lat e one afternoon, we saw a shepherd. with his flock of sheep a Puli bitch and her six month old son. Both appeared to be small, fine boned, had light ears and were very black with a great deal of agility. Our bus slowed down so we could fall o\l'er each other to see .what was a very·picturesque sight. A vast . plain stretching as far as you could see; the shepherd, sheep and two Pulis; and to complete the picttll"e, a large stork lifts off the ground and flies over our heads.

A few miles further we spot three csikos, or herdsmen, each with their herd of fifty nonius or wild horses. Pronounced no-ne~s, these horses are crosses of English thoroughbreds and German crosses (Hanoverans). The csik6s put on a show for us by having their horses lie on their sides · while t hey stood on their ribcage. They lifted their long leather whi ps and cracked them in unison as they s,rung them over t heir heads. As the preserve veterinarian, Dr.Rado, had arrived.with his three Vizslas, we were asked to gather around his car so the csikos could show us how they round up the nonius. They began by circling us, closer and closer until we were squashed around the tiny car. Just when you thought you were about to be crushed, they stopped. A csikoS asked by pantomin­ing if I would like a ride. I was heaved onto the horse and we galloped off into the sunset. Pictures show me with a ten;or stricken look - true . . I am clutched be a csikcswhile almost sitting on the neck of a horse whose saddle is not se­cured by girth straps . These saddles are very small and made of a soft leather so they may be easily removed if the mount decides to join the wild herd.

The following _day , just off the main hi ghway of t he Hortocagy , we saw a shepherd wit h his wo r king ?ul i . Possibl y t he only shepherd. i n t his r egion br eeding pur e­bred Pulis , we were not sur prised to .see he r eminded us of Pulis in t he United 3ta tes. Cf good s ize, but not over 17 i nches , he was not well angul ated in the front a~d had very l ittle i n the r ear. But , he was well balanced . Sc~uar e appear ing wi th a strong neck , his head and shoul ders were t he only parts with cord.s . He wa s also under shot . Cl ose inspection of his t eet h showed his canines had bee~ br oken off to pr event him from hurt ing t he sheep . The shepherd gave the conmand f or the ?uli to contr ol a specifi c ram whi ch was accomplished by the ?uli gr ab:i ng t he front l~g on t he opposite s ide and under t he ram. He was successfully f lipped to" th·e gr ound whi l e t he Puli stood over him. The

photographers of the group asked to have the performance repeated but the shepherd had to say no because he was - my term- ringwise and could possibly hurt the ram while showing off. The Puli may have w9 i~hedthirty pounds a nd the ram about 125 pounds. This not so great speciman for the conformation ring had the proper working ~bility. He could cover a lot of ground in quick response to the shep­herd. He was an agile, acrobatic ;Puli with plenty of spirit. As we watched him ru.~ a couple of .excercising Pumis off his territory, the shepherd remarked that he haJ. lost several good workiri~ Pulis to cars on t he highway.

The director of all the parks and reserves of Hungary joined our group for another trip to the Horta~. A pleasant young man who spoke English, he readily ans~ered our questions. He took us to places no other Westerners had previously been allo·-fed. We sa·" a home on a privately owned farm,with ·a fierce Komondor protecting the property and his doghouse tlade of cow dung. The landowner, unhappy for many yea._-rs because the State would not :purchase his farm, threatened us wi t h a wooden pitchfork.

19

We tra·-1elled for ma.:1.y miles over desolate, sunbaked land until we stopped at a csarda for a fantastic luncheon. Our hosts brought trays of the powerful ba.:ra~k ~lin.<.a. to the tables. "Je watched in awe as I~ .Bacsi taught Anita Ri tanour how to drink the apricot brandy. Les waa impressed. ~s she became fluent in Hungarian.

Russian soldiers patroled. this area in jeeps or trucks. How did we know if they were :russian? By the color of the stars on their uniform and the color band on their caps. They never smiled. But on the otherhand we were pleasantly surprised to see you~-e; me~ cooling beer in troughs at water wells, to be brought out at the end of the work day.

In 1966, the str.nog::a;hical Huseum of Buda.:p~st began research to provide a "visual demonstratio!'l" of ten !:"egional groups of Hungary according to "social and econmic factors." 1. :.:e saw the first group of co::ipleted buildings of the Upper Tisza region at the Open A~r ;-:useum of Hungary outside ·of -Budapest. Complete with furnishi'!'lgs they ex.,ibit the culture of rtur'6ary duri:,g the 18th and 19th centuries. Not any less impo::-tant is the Hortocagy of :astern Hungary. As our world rapidly changes it is a ?roblc~ to preserve the past. The FUli is not being promoted '. on the preserve acco!tli:-ig to Dr. Marki. The ?J.li breeders need our interest and help to speed the pr~cess of prese::ving the norloba€;:y with the Ptlli at the zhepherds side before it is too 1.2.te. Realizing we cannot do everything for the~ in typical A.mer-can fashion, we still :rust consider sending some Pulis oo.ck to Hungary. ~'.aybe donations through Dr. fvf.a.rki for the Horto~ay is the answer. Com.lilWUcation is the most important factor of all. We inµst ask them

. why; the shepherds are not encouraged. to <.43e :p,µ-ebred Pulis. Our goals should be the sa.,-;;e, "the breeding of better Pulis." 2

PET CARE AND EARTHQUAKES ttAAAAAAAAAAAAA-k1rlrldrlrlrlrlt

l:ARE

Courtesy of Jennifer Hill Sassing, Peninsula Humane Society, San M~teo, ca.

Plan ••• don't panic, is the advice of the Peninsula Humane Society of San Mateo County, California, for pet owners living in earthquake country. Many peo~le have already taken the precaution of preparing an earthquake kit for themselves, and pet owners should do the same for their pets. Fill a waterproof bag with dry food, plastic food dish, plastic bottle of water, extra leash (harness for cats), extra pet identification tag, the animal's medical records and any medi­cation, and perhaps, a toy or bone. Keep your pet's bag right next to your own. And for cat owners, a cat carrier is essential.

If, or when, the big quake hits, human problems will have to take precedence and it is important that pet owners are prepared to protect and care for their pets on their own. During the recent Three Mile Island evacuation, disaster shelters were unable to accept pets. Many animals were deserted or left alone in abandoned homes. Animal shelters in the Three Mile Island area were filled to overflowing with frightened, stray animals. Northern California residents can learn from this experience. Discuss emergency arrangements with friends, relatives and neighbors, and plan ways to provide for pets in the event of disaster orevacuation. For ~xample, leave instructions with your neighbor on what to do with your pet until you are able to reach it. If you are home when an emergency occurs, and are forced to leave your home do not abandon your pet. Try to take your pet with you ••. perhaps to a friend or relative's home 0

Good training of your pet will be especially helpful in an emergency. You will want your pet to respond to you and stay by your side. Wearing an identification tag at all times is a must for your pet. If it is lost, that I.D. may be its only chance to be reunited with you,

Add i tional advice: many Puli owners have more than one pet and crates for dogs are very helpful in moving a number of pets. Also keep your vehicle facing out . of your driveway. In an emergency the time and trouble it may take to turn around can make a great deal of difference. (Contributed by: Rob Sky)

Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours. Then, on a floured board roll do~gh into long, rectangl~ ~ inch thick. See Exhibit 1. Turn dough 90 degrees and fold it as shown on Exhibits 2a and 2b. Roll dough once again into rectangle, then turn dough the last time 90 degrees and fold into fourths as shown on Exhibits 4a and 4b. Wrap dougi in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours. Repeat the entire procedure 3 times allowing 2 hours rest in the refrige­rator between foldings.

WORD OF CAUTION:

Don't e ver knead dough after folding procedure has already started.

This flaky recipe is very hand y to have around the house. One can double or triple the quantity and can d iv ide the dough into 2 or 3 bal l ~, wrap them in plastic wrap, and foil, then place them in the freezer. Dough will keep in the freezer for 6 to 8 mo nths. When needed, dough should be taken out of freezer 24 hours before its usage.

------------------------------~-------Pastry can be used for: encasing filet of beef (Beef Wellington), encasing roast turkey breast; to make sweet or salty turn-overs, to make croissants, to form individual small pillow-like squares, sprinkled with cheese of choice, to form 3 inches long fin gers, sprinkled with sesame seeds, or caraway seeds, and can be used for many other recipes which call for flaky pastry .
