BATH CANINE SOCIETY  -  ANNUAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW

Hungarian Puli

Held on:  Friday 24th May 2024

Judge:  Mr Russell F. Jones (Quemerford)

This was my 1st time Judging this breed at this level and it is one of my favourite breeds.  I have admired them for many years and those who own them.  Thank you for the entry and the sportsmanship on your placings.   It was great seeing the Veteran Winner take the Pastoral Veteran Group and seeing her return on the final day to challenge for best veteran in show.

Hungarian Puli 

Puppy Dog (2,0), 1 Henshaw-Wood, Mr. A., Magikus Sirius Black: An 11mth old black dog with a lot to like about him.  He is a very neat dog, with a really good shape with nice type and outline.  His coat is coming along nicely and he takes your eye, certainly one to look out for.  Moved well around the ring and well handled. Pleased to award him BPD & BPIB.  I was pleased to hear that he was pulled out in the puppy group.  Well done.

2 Keeling, Ms. K., Catsun Singular Sensation For Wisley: A 7mth old black dog that is younger than 1st.  A very cobby puppy just a little on the leg at present.   His coat is coming on nicely. Moved ok around the ring.  I would like to see how he matures.

Junior Dog (1,0), 1 Henshaw-Wood, Mr. A., Magikus Sirius Black:  As Before.

Post Graduate Dog (2,0), 1 Thomas, Miss H.L., Chesmes Kutya Magyar Gryff At Mournebrake: A 2yr old black dog that is of a good shape, very nice type and outline.  He moved out well around the ring.   His coat is coming along nicely.  Un-fortunately he was not in show condition on the day.

2 Keeling, Ms. K., Montydom White Riot In Wisley: A 2.5yr old white dog, that’s coat is coming along nicely.  He is a nice shape and type, with lot to like about him.  His movement let him down, he was sluggish and slow on the day, sorry it happens.

Limit Dog (1,0), 1 Cowley, Mrs. L.J. & Mr. K.D., Kashbeluli There We Are then, JW: A 2yr old black dog that stood alone in this class.  He is of a good size, with an excellent out-line, very typical type.  With a coat of good quality.  Moved well around the ring.  I liked him a lot.

Open Dog (4,0), 1 Watts, Miss H., Ch. Moonshadow Mud Big, (Imp USA): I absolutely loved this class and this black dog headed up the class, he was not the biggest but he did ooze breed type and he moved like a Puli should.  He is if nothing else a shower and he shouts look at me and at 8yrs of age he is in fabulous show condition, with excellent cording.   I was pleased to award him the DCC and later BOB.  He also looked excellent in the group.

2 Sharpe & Dyer, Miss N. & Mr. Dyer, Ch. Catsun Comanche Legacy, Sh.CEx: A worthy Champion, 8yrs of age, loved his size and type.  This black dog is a little larger than 1st and super to go over.  It was really a close thing to 1st, just that the movement gave 1st the class on the day.  That said I was pleased to award him the R.DCC. I really liked him.
