Fruska holding at bay the famous Hungarian Racka sheep. World Dog Show Hungary, 2013
Fruska has been one of our two foundation bitches.
A sensational Pumi bitch, a farm dog special. Her photograph below has had a major influence that made the world falling in love with the breed.
Fruska gave birth to three healthy litters over the years. She’s produced AKC silver grand champion and grand champion Pumis, bonafide full-time herding dogs – that we are probably the most proud of. She’s been working full time on the farm and makes a cameo appearance at a few herding trials. Herding sheep and goats are her favorite thing to do.
This photo has been partially responsible for the Pumi’s popularity and has captured the imagination of many people. Fruska is the great embodiment of the Pumi breed. However, under the seemingly innocent cuteness rests the disposition of a great herding dog who is always eager to work. The Pumi thrives the most in a farm work environment, doing dog sports or in active families.
Fruskaʼs dam was the World Winner in 2012. Fruska is an exceptionally talented herding dog with a very high work ethic and superior drive.

A perfect or near perfect Pumi that rarely comes around. Agyag has a wonderfully balanced disposition, just like how the Pumi should be. She is level headed, bomb proof and calm. Her ideal conformation is combined with a hair type and quality designed by nature for a working dog. When it comes to work with stock, she is always eager to enter the barn yard. Agyag is a highly recognized Pumi in Europe. When showing her in conformation overseas, she is always a safe entry to bet on. Several Agyag pups from both of her litters have been exported to Europe. Catskill Betan recently has won Best Female Pumi title in Sweden She’s been also gaining recognition in the United States as judges become better versed with the Pumi every day.

GCH Bronze Ch Csucsai Csinszka ACT1, CA, BCAT
She is a real testament to a breeder’s pride and work. Not only carrying the treats of her dam She also shows desired improvement in conformation and disposition as a result of a careful planning. She is closer to black color with an eye catching conformation and smooth disposition (her dam is the beautiful Kaffogo Agyag). Csinszka is late bloomer, however, quiet, decisive and swift Pumi. She possesses a stealth power when working on sheep.

CH Catskill Finnyas Fani, IT, PT, BCAT, DCAT, CA, NAJ, NA, CL1-H, CL1-F, JHD-S
She is out of Catskill Anka’s first litter. She has an average conformation with an outstanding disposition. She is free of DM and PLL. She is a reliable working dog at the farm, perhaps a bit too enthusiastic because of her young age. She has been excelling in a variety of dog sports. Very loyal and always ready for action. Never lets you down. Fani is a spectator favorite at Coursing Ability events.
FANI waits her time to enter at a Coursing Ability event.

Fani sometimes gets too serious and a bit over enthusiastic about her job.
Fani; whatever you throw at her she handles it
CH Catskill Huncut Hanga, BCAT, DCAT, UKC Champion (Conformation)
Hanga is out of GCH Catskill Becsi Barsony. She is one of the greatest rewards of years of breeding and she might be the next big shot. She is only two years old and exhibits one of the most promising conformations for years in our kennel. She is not a big fan of conformation shows, therefore, we expose her in slower increments. She is more comfortable with performance events.

Hanga has earned her conformation Championship title with a BOB win! thank you judge Janin K. Lauring.
