“The good thing is,” as Tünde Balogh said, “that when you get tired of your Pumi, you just just pick it up and carry her under your arm like your fake Lois Voutton Cluny bag.” has she ever said that? I am not sure…
Thursday I had an appointment with Pumi groomer legend and extraordinaire, Tünde Balogh in Budapest. During the World Dog Show week back in 2013, she groomed my Kaffogo Agyag to success.
Since I was in Hungary again and she could fit me in to her crazy busy schedule, I thought it is never late to learn more about the tricks of the trade and why not to learn from one of the best ones.
Sorry, it is too late…, now you have to love her…(Tünde’s husband got tricked by the “acting needy” Agyag)
ouch… be careful what you wish for in the presence of Catskill Pumis…
I also had the opportunity to video record her with original narration while working on both of my dogs.
I do not know the house rules of the Baloghs, where grooming turned out to be a family affair with lunch, coffee and serious entertainment, however, I know that I’ve got the royal treatment.
I had the opportunity to video record Tünde with original narration how to groom a Pumi… can you see me in the picture?
My Pumis have also seemed to have a good time, while spoiled by the Balogh’s. They were a bit surprised when they had to share my lap with Tünde’s cat after lunch while resting in the living room. C’est la vie Pumis.
I am grateful for the opportunity to learn some new grooming moves to improve my skills that I can use on my dogs and and help to improve the look of hopefully many American Pumis after my return.
The Pumis were genuinely surprised when the cat leaped into my lap and landed right in between the two of them to rest after lunch.
