Kedves Agi meg mindenki!
Nagyon sajnalom hogy nem lehetek veletek holnap a kutya talalkozon - biztos nagyot fognak mind bulizni! Nem is szolok Gyongyinek errol! Boldogan irok a kis kutyankrol, de inkabb angolul mert az jobban megy.
Gyongyi is growing into and excellent dog. She has some personality traits we are truly grateful for, namely she is completely property trained, we can simply open the door and she'll take care of her business, roam the yard but never go where she shouldn't. She comes right back when called or when she's ready. This is the first dog in our family's history that can be so trusted. She loves being outside naturally, and will often sit in the middle of the yard and survey the surroundings. Her herding instinct has definitely manifest itself without our encouragement, she pushes us, occasionally nips at our heels and runs circles around any group, especially outside. I'm secretly hoping to get a couple of sheep, to give her a real job and also to keep the grass cut!
We had a big family development recently when I gave birth to my son Kristof in March. Gyongyi did not seem quite ready to give up her status as baby in the family, she was definitely spoiled rotten until then. She is taking it all in stride now, acknowledges his existence and also sits by his bassinet very dutifully. Another skill she was never taught.
Her partner in crime is my sister's 3 year old black lab, Holly. They make a very amusing yin/yang duo. Gyongyi learns many things from Holly as well, not all of them good however - how to lick the grease off the barbecue, how to sit funny on one hip, how to tear the filling out of stuffed toys. From an early age, she was very bold with this much bigger dog, and engaged her in aggressive wrestling. Holly handled it very graciously. They're completely comfortable with each other, share their toys and even eat out of each others' bowls.
As you can see from the photos, Gyongyi's coat has become very long and shaggy. It is just beginning to mat around her neck, on her ears and feet. I'm not sure I'll be able to handle the grooming and am thinking of giving her her first clip. There's also something I'd love to share with the other white Puli owners and see what they think. Her vision is terrible! It's the hair, I'm sure of it. There are a lot of Hungarians here who insist that you can't cut a Puli's hair around it's eyes, but I think that rule only applies to the black ones. Black and white behave completely differently in light, and I can't imagine laws of physics don't apply to Pulis. She bumps into things, can't see the toy she's chasing, it's sad. I'm actually worried that she'll hurt herself by running into a wall or tree.
I hope everyone's enjoying their puppy as much as we are, I'd love to keep in touch with the family members and exchange ideas and tips about grooming.
Much love - Ejjen a Puli!

Számomra kicsit meglepő volt Fürtösnek ez a reakciója, hiszen egyik kölyök sem nyaggatta őt (amit különben nem szeret). Más kutyák között inkább ő az, aki csendben félrevonul....most azonban ő uralta a terepet, a gyerekek pedig szót fogadtak. Bogáncs volt talan az, aki néha felemelte a hangját az anyja ellen, de azért ő sem lázongott sokáig.
Saját bárányai vannak a család farmján, akiket idővel talán terelgetni is fog majd. 
István szerint annyi mindent megért, hogy teljes mondatokban lehet vele "beszélgetni." Csipke igazi kinti kutya (nagyon tuti fűthető házzal) és hozzánk hasonlóan, őket is jelentették már fel állatkinzás miatt a "kedves" szomszédok. 
Szőrápolásról és egyéb témáról többen jeleztétek, hogy esetleg értekeznétek egymással, igy küldök majd egy emailt, mindenkinek az elérhetőségével, és felteszem az emailben hozzám eljuttatottott beszámolókat is ide a blogra.
