Re: HYB:Drawbacks

As Steve would know, the puli's specialty in his native Hungary is herding sheep, which he does by jumping on the backs of the lead sheep and nipping to control their direction. Another great Hungarian dog is the komandor, a large guard dog which, like the puli, resembles a mop, but much bigger. A komandor of my acquaintance once caught a burglar whom it subdued by standing on his chest. The only problem was, it at first refused to surrender the burglar to the sheriff's deputies. After all, it was HIS burglar! -- Griff

He was a stray. Knew I spelled it wrong too, but didn't take the time to
look it up.

He was injured and he found a good home to recoup. I didn't know what his
breed was at the time. Even thought he might be some Poodle mix. My daughter
and I started watching the dog shows and that is how we discovered his
breed. There is a large mennonite community in our area. I understand they keep
the breed. We figure he strayed from there.

He was the best dog I've ever had. Named him Weebles. I could tell he
thought he was doing me a favor by digging up the moles. Excellent breed.
