1989  is the year I was smitten with the Puli; with the purchase of my first Puli in March of that year, sight unseen, flew in from Tennessee this little black ball of fur. A boy, he was a little timid at first to come out of his crate...once home and settled in he was soon saying "watch out world here I come". So fortunate for him I knew my way with dogs, having trained many before him. This little guy wanted to be ALPHA and tried so hard to have his way. He was such a smart "kid" and knew just how to wrap those cords around my heart strings that I soon was taken over by the breed. This first Puli was the dog with no name for about two months and for some odd reason the name WICKET stuck...

As you can see with his titles he took to Conformation, Obedience and Herding like a duck to water. With limited showing in my area he was also in the Top 10 all breed for two years in a row. He loved the conformation ring ... and to this day I still have people asking about him. He had a lot of other achievements like best Veteran at a Puli National...the fun I had with him are the funfilled memories more so, than the titles earned.  That is something that stands with all my fur "kids". They are family first and then if they find a niche they like such as conformation, obedience, agility, herding etc. then by all means we play. 

I couldn't get enough of this breed THE PULI so soon joined the Puli Club of America and made my first National Specialty in the fall of 1989. Trying to soak in as much as possible about this fun loving breed we call a Puli; never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would become a breeder.  I didn't want to just produce dogs so I tried to learn from the best and do my homework on the breed and follow the Puli Club of America Standard for the Puli as it is written. I spoke to many breeders, watched a lot of videos, read books, dissected pedigrees and soon I was ready for number two Puli.  Broughan came into our world the summer of 1990

I did purchase a 3rd Puli puppy in 1991 in hopes of using in my breeding program. He being Riley (Ch Bow Down Life O'Riley CD NA OAJ)..a sweetheart, his deep dark brown eyes could melt your heart but he had way too many conformation faults that he was never used. Instead, he proved to love agility and when Mom was not so busy in the conformation ring then we would venture to an agility trial. He had two of the three legs needed to his excellent title before his untimely death.

LAMBAK PULIK  was born with our first litter in 1994. The name came about one afternoon when I took the Human kiddos to a pizza parlor...there on the wall was a sign advertising a duxbak waterproof shirt..with comment "Like water off a duxbak". For those familiar with the Puli am sure they have seen the famous print of a Puli on a sheep's back which was printed for the National Geographic many years ago. Lightbulds don't come on in my head too often but there I had it LAMBAK
