In our attempt to continually improve the gene pool available here in Australia, we are pleased to have imported Puli lines that have made an enormous contribution to our breeding program. A special and most sincere thank you must go to all the Puli breeders from around the world who have become friends of Rustufarion Pulis and who have so kindly helped us by sending us such wonderful representatives of the breed.
If these people had not been so patient, willing and determined to send us these Pulis, Rustufarion would never have come so far. As Australia is limited with its gene pool we are working continually with our international friends, importing semen and offspring of Pulis from around the world we knew to be excellent producers, and importing enough variety and sufficient individuals to ensure our breeding program is genetically healthy and strong to see us well into the future.
The fruits of our labours are now becoming apparent, as progeny from combinations of our Australian bred and imported lines are making their presence felt.
We are pleased to have imported into Australia:
Aust Ch Belrob's Piece Of The Rock (Imp USA) "Rocky"
Belrob's Star Down Under (Imp USA) "Star"
Aust & Hung Jr Ch Napfenyvarosi-Csahos Rikkancs (Imp Hung) "Ricky"
Aust Ch Heartwell's Adam (Imp USA) "Tummy"
As well as semen from the highly successful Am Ch Prydain Trademark HT (USA) "Markie"
As part of our continued breeding program and drive for excellence, we are always planning for those next imported lines. We look forward to introducing more imports in the years to come.
Below are some of our imports...
Aust Ch Belrob's Piece of the Rock
(Imp USA)
"Rocky"
Rocky was our first American import, arriving from Jim Belanger and Mike Connery of Belrob Acres Pulik in America, in order to expand the available gene pool here in Australia. Rocky has produced some lovely Champion progeny for Rustufarion, including Gr Ch Rustufarion Toii Boii and Ch Rustufarion Little Star as well as performance stars Rustufarion Funki Star and Rustufarion Funki Rappa. Many thanks to our good friends Jim and Mike for trusting in us and allowing us to opportunity to own such a special Puli.

Aust & Hung Jr Ch Napfenyvarosi-
Csahos Rikkancs (Imp Hung)
"Ricky"
Ricky arrived at Rustufarion in 2002 as the first male Hungarian import to arrive in Australia. Ricky was from the very successful Napfenyvarosi kennels of Hungary and was a repeat of some very successful siblings. He enjoyed a short but successful show campaign in Australia.

"Markie"
In 2005 Rustufarion was very excited to welcome into our breeding program imported semen from the highly successful Markie, owned and loved by Susan McConnell in the United States. The opportunity to introduce a dog of such calibre into our lines was a great step forward for our kennel, and Markie has produced for us several Champions already, including Ch Rustufarion Trade War, Ch Rustufarion Crazy Talk and Ch Rustufarion Outta Space. We cannot thank Susan enough for allowing us to use Markie.
Sire: Am Ch Prydain Lil Tundra Tyke AM UD (USA)
Dam: Am Ch Prydain Virag HT (USA)
Markie is pictued winning at breed level the 2000 and 2001 Westminster Dog Shows. He is owned and loved by Susan McConnell in the USA.
