Rustufarion Kennels began with the arrival of our first Puli in
1992. Oakey, also known as Pasztor Midnite Magic, came to us
from Margaret Keil of Pasztor Hungarian Pulis in Victoria. She has
proved to be the best companion anyone could want - a character from
the first day she jumped out of her crate. Oakey's pedigree
comprises mostly English dogs imported to Australia from the
Borgvaale and Amroth Kennels.
Oakey has produced our foundation breeding stock, and was the dam of
our first home-bred Australian Champion,
Ch Rustufarion Astro Star,
followed by her half brother now
Gr Ch Rustufarion Toii Boii, and is
the proud foundation of our successful bitch line which has
continued through
Ch Rustufarion Little Star,
her daughter,
Ch Rustufarion Cyber Star, and
her two daughters Rustufarion Outta Star and Rustufarion Outta Space
soon to begin their show career.
Oakey is still very
much apart of the Rustufarion family, as the great grandmother of
Ch Rustufarion Cyber Kaos
and his sister
Ch Rustufarion Cyber Star
who represent the third generation of Rustufarion Pulis.
Soon after Oakey's
arrival we added to our team, and having met Carol Clarson and her
wonderful Pulis it was a perfect opportunity to take on a Puli she
had bred. This Puli was Ch Sechantz Hobgoblin, "Kodie" our
first owner handled Champion, her greatest win was at the Sydney
Royal Easter Show, where she was placed first in a very competitive
class of four despite being the youngest bitch entered, and went on
to be awarded Reserve Challenge Bitch. She was a wonderful Puli who
unfortunately due to tragic accident didn't reach her full
potential. But her spirit and memory is with us every day.
Some time later we took on another bitch, Sechantz Intrinsic,
a gift from our dear friend Carol, a repeat breeding of Kodie and
daughter of Best In Show Winner Ch Sechants Csabu Warrior. Csabu was
predominantly made up of English bred dogs combining Borgvaale and
Desamee through his grandsire Ch Desamee Cili Noddy and also
combines American Skysyl lines with Ch Skysyl Watch Mr Big Stuff of
Borgvaale, who was and still remains one of the best Pulis I have
ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Our
contribution to the breed here in Australia has included the
introduction of two American-bred Pulis imported from Jim Belanger
and Mike Connery of Belrob Acres Pulik, America, which has expanded
the available gene pool. Belrobs Star Down Under, "Star"
daughter of their nine-times Best in Show Am & Can Ch Belrobs Front
Runner "Bingo", combines the best of Szeder and Belrob lines and
also has the top winning Hungarian import Am & Can Ch Csanyteleki
Cigany in her pedigree. Ciggy was a Hungarian import owned by Dr
Mary Wakeman. Our imported dog Aust Ch Belrobs Piece of the Rock
"Rocky" is sired by Am Ch Belrobs Dark Victory, and again traces
back to Hungarian lines including Am Ch Szeders Show Girl winner of
Puli Club Of America Specialty and Best In Show. Both Rocky
and Star have made a significant contribution to our breeding
program.
Making several trips to the United States of America has enabled us
to gain a great deal of understanding drawing on the experience of
many people who have been involved with the breed for a great number
of years. Thank you to those people who have offered their help and
guidance so freely. Our meetings with them have been invaluable to
us. Particular thanks to Jim and Mike who trusted in me to take on
two of their Pulis which they put a great deal of time into before
they were ready to leave for the land down under. Since then Jim and
Mike have become like family and we will be forever grateful and
indebted to them for everything they have done.
In
2002 Rustufarion Kennels were very excited with the arrival of our
first Hungarian dog import to Australia, from the very successful
Napfenyvarosi kennels of Hungary, "Ricky", Aust & Hung Jr Ch
Napfenyvarosi Csahos Rikkancs is a repeat of some very
successful siblings. His brother Eber has become one of Hungary's
top winning Pulis. Rikkancs' sister lives in Denmark with Bodil Rusz
and has had a tremendously successful career and won Best In Show
2nd at the 2002 World Show in Amsterdam.
In
recent years we have had the great opportunity to import semen from
the highly successful Am Ch Prydain Trademark HT, bred by the famed
Prydain Kennels in America.
Our
goal at Rustufarion Pulis as breeders is to develop a breeding
program that will produce quality dogs throughout each generation.
As we have a number of fine examples of the breed we look forward to
the continued development of our "Rustufarion" bloodlines and
improving our program for what we hope will be many years and
generations to come.
We
have some exciting plans for 2008 and 2009 as we look forward to
introducing our youngsters to the conformation ring.
Our
home is located at the base of the Blue Mountains in New South
Wales, Australia. Here the Pulis enjoy plenty of open space
and a number of other farm animals to keep in order. We are about
one-and-a-half hours drive from Sydney's CBD.
