Pleasure to officiate again at ones own breed show. On a personal level , this was bound to be both a deeply interesting & reflective experience , with all present under Two, maybe Three years unseen by me in real time, an opportunity to see the progression of those last judged 4 Years ago and a great chance to have some appreciative, stimulating conversation with fellow acquaintance’s . Thanks to the Committee for the invite & hospitality. Thanks also to both stewards.
Somewhat of an unexpected juxtaposition with B’s entered being numerically stronger than D’s, with just 5/10 of the latter present & 9/15 of the former. Based on the representative , choice was obviously limited . I therefore don’t feel it appropriate to draw any sweeping overall assessment from this showing.

1ST & Best Special Non-Black in Show
Sear/Quill Porgeloci Zero (Imp Hun)
Pleasing size & shape to this promising White with excellent basic body frame on a progressive developmental curve . Still a way to go yet but particularly impressed in head proportions, carriage ,dark pigmentation , eye colour for age & make-up of Shoulder/ Radius. Straight Foreleg. Strong rear, comparatively short hocks. Abundant thick cords settling to enhance visually appealing body lines. Occasionally ‘crabbing’ both going away & coming too so now needs to settle & focus on the move but saw enough true action to convince .

1ST Keeling Montydom White Riot in Wisley
Pleasing maturity to this one now with very appealing square profile .Significantly darker colouring development to palate, lips, nose, & eye colour since last judged. Head proportions good although would prefer blunter muzzle. Moderate neck of good carriage. Perhaps a little upright than ideal in shoulder but fair angle with radius. Good spring to rib with adequate depth to leg length & consequential pleasing overall width to body. Short loin with tuck -up. Great make-up to well muscled rear , Tail set good . Well blended . Easy action going away & in profile ,a little ‘on the elbow’ coming to. Excellent top line always. Exemplary turn-out.
2ND Cook. Montydom Gorgeous George.
Litter Brother to above . Slightly larger and substantial all round with lively attitude . Pleasing overall proportions. Slightly more blended in front assembly but not as reliable in top line or tail set. Quality White coat of strong even cording. Good shape & feel to skull . Muzzle could be shorter. Lovely physical condition. Easy action most of the time .

1ST ,CC & BOS & RBIS .Cowley CH Kashbeluli There we Are Then JW ShCEx OSW.
Early promise now realised . Absolutely masculine outlook with good square profile . Body proportions to overall size all pleasing , height, length ,body depth to leg length all check out with an easy flow to overall construction .Head proportions good ,muzzle blunt .Balanced rear with strong ,relatively short hocks .Typical coat in great order . A few anxious moments on the move, eventually settling to a pleasing performance hence final award .

1ST RCC,BVIS Cowley CH Callendu Despicable Me at Kashbeluli ShCM ShCEx VW
Super impressed .This 13 Yr old provided one of my take away moments of the day . Amazing performance on the move with absolutely unwavering topline & perfect footfall . Very precise . Possibly the best example of true Puli action of the day. Obviously physical age vagaries in other areas influenced final challenge ,eventually being defeated by his Son . Structurally pleasing although I felt ever so slightly narrow through body in comparison.

1ST BPIS Sear&Quill Fekete Orrcimpa Aletti(Imp Deu)
Well grown & substantial already at nearly 7Mth. Pleasing overall balance at present. Visually ,excellent square outlook & width through body make up. Head is good ,slight dome to back skull , held at an excellent angle & carriage on moderate neck thus easy sweep in to fair frontal assembly . Vertical fore leg. Short loin .Pleasing angle to rear though would prefer more bend to stifle, possibly due to growth ‘spurt’ In my experience this can continue to develop further through to Junior stage .Lively & unfocused on the move . Saw enough momentary pleasing action to convince. Promising.
PB(1)
1ST & RBPIS Lees Makgubo Alma(Imp Hun)
Pleasing profile shape . Head length proportions good . Would prefer more bluntness to muzzle . General make-up and body proportions good although I felt she was a little narrow & fine all through at present .Rear has great balance with short hocks .Promise of good even cording on the way . Pleasing profile & front action . Quite narrow going away.
JB(3,1A)
1ST CC & BIS Rhodes Matyofoldi Kisbojtar Olivia (Imp Hun)
Exciting , beautiful B & a very good Puli. Lovely easy flow to blended make-up. Great for height , width , body condition & muscle .At just over a year old I am confident as one can be ,full potential will be realised with ordinary luck. I could use all the usual superlatives to describe her , suffice to say she has it all . Strong even cords well on the way . Super profile & body lines very briefly spoilt on occasion by over handling . The extra work involved now will continue to repay over many Years . Very consistent ,easy action all ways .

Completely different outlooks but much to appreciate between both these .
1ST Scrutton Tyngeli Make a Wish for Gemeau .
Wealth of ‘type’ to this one. Yes, she could use a little more size to advantage . Possibly scraping in at the lowest end of the BS requisite magnifying her ultra femininity & proportional detail .Sweetest of heads . Enough neck. Fair ,tightly knit forehand make-up with vertical leg. Pleasing spring & depth to rib . Short loin. Lovely rear angles, bend to stifle & short strong hocks. Solid Black coat in excellent clean order. Easy action in this class. Strong consideration for top award but she’d had enough by the challenge for BB much to my exasperation.
2ND Cook & Anderton Montydom Back to the Future for Weetonean.
Stylish & elegant. A size or Two taller than 1st.Present coat pattern of authentic rusty Black, weathered cords gives appearance of excess body length . Proportionally not the case. Would prefer slightly shorter muzzle. Back skull good . Pleasing front. Depth of body to leg length ok. Tightly muscled loin. Rear quarters good although hocks a little long in comparison. Action good .Not as consistent & focused as winner.

1ST & RCC Cook&Anderton Montydom Maggie May .
Another veteran trooper of 10 Yrs giving me true Puli attitude ,full of self importance & bustle serving her very well in the final run off . Many qualities evident on examination . Pleasing head . Dark pigmentation . Good front .Body broadening out from this point . Tightly knit & compact .Loin muscular & short. Balanced rear .Super sound on the move . Very quick in harmony with her lively disposition. Worthy of a class upgrade on this performance.
Open B(4,2A)
Difficult class.
1st McBeth Maclaurien Georgy Girl.
Admired this one 4 Yrs ago .Pleasing type , Square & compact . She still looks great at full maturity ‘on the stack ‘. Lovely head . Moderate body make up throughout with pleasing spring to rib & general abdominal width. Good rear .Strong neat hocks. Cords in good order although a little sparse on the tail spoiling the overall image. Action sound but sluggish lacking the style & pizzaz of main winners today.
2ND B BSpNBB Cook& Anderton Montydom Chantilly Lace
A little more determined on the move than winner but not as pleasing body wise being less compact & rangier to handle. Good dark pigmentation to nose, palate & lips . General overall make up pleasing . Occasionally tended to ‘clam up ‘a little on the stack thus spoiling her head & neck angle to overall bodylines. Strong White cords in good order. Sound action.
VB (3,1A)
1ST & BVB & RBVIS Corah CH Callendu Diamonds’n Pearls.
Beautifully conditioned 10 Yr. old . Cords as even as anyone could probably achieve. Underneath is a very pleasing & well knit body. Head is good set on definitive ,moderate neck, masked a little by abundant coat . Shoulder fair. Balanced angle to radius. Foreleg vertical. Robust feel to ribbing . Short loin, well muscled . Ok on the move In profile & coming to . Quite untidy going away with loose hock action.
2ND Sear & Quill Searwell Supersymmetry
Adorable 13 Yr on a ‘jolly’ & looking super pleased with her self . Who can blame her at this great age. Another in remarkable condition. Pleasing overall frame & make up. Strong White cords . Ok on the move .Obviously not the vitality of winner but sound enough with good pace given age.
