Immerzu Puli Kennel

"Eccles" was a showdog par excellence. He often had to be held back when going around the ring so that his handler could keep up with him - he loved to stride out at full speed and show off his smooth driving movement and spectacular coat. He won multiple Groups and placements, and was also a wonderful ambassador for the breed since he loved people and delighted in the attention they gave him. Tamzin also used him in Junior Showmanship and won many awards with him, including Best Junior Handler at the Puli Club of America national specialty in 1992. He sired only four small litters for us - a total of eight puppies - but they were all quality. In 1989 he was Canada's #3 Puli, in 1990 he was #5; in 1991 #3; and in 1992 he was #2. He was one of sweetest dogs we have ever owned.

"Cassy" was one of our family's all-time favourite Pulis. She finished her Canadian championship shown by our son Ben, then finished her American championship shown by our daughter Tamzin. Tamzin then trained her to her Canadian and American CDs. She finished her Canadian CD with a 2nd and 4th places from Novice A, and her American CD with a 3rd placing from Novice B. She was a little too casual in the obedience ring - her scores fluctuated wildly from a high of 192.5 right down to 170.5! Stephanie took her through her Temperament Test and Tamzin then used her extensively as a Junior Handling dog, winning several awards, including Best Junior Handler awards at two Puli Club of America specialties. She even did a little agility, but proved too laid back to be really competitive. She was truly a versatile and obliging Puli.

"Allie" had a rocky start in life, contracting parvo at the age of 4 months. She spent 5 days in a veterinary hospital on IVs, and pulled through, only to lose almost all of her coat a few weeks later except for tufts on her tail, ears, and feet. She looked like a cross between a Poodle and a plucked chicken! She became my obedience dog, winning her Canadian CD with a 1st and 3rd places from Novice A. In the U.S.A. she won her CD with three 4th places from Novice B. At the beginning of her obedience career Allie was somewhat anxious and lacked self-confidence, and this was reflected in her scores, which were not earth-shattering, mostly in the 180's. I began to train her in Open work, and after a long tussle with the dumbbell she agreed that she could, perhaps, pick it up and bring it back to me if I REALLY wanted it. She loved jumping and would fly over the high jump and the broad jump, and as she became more experienced her confidence grew. She won her Canadian CDX with one 1st place and two 2nd places. She continued to do well, finishing 1995 as Canada's top winning obedience Puli.

Can/Am Ch IMMERZU HELLO BEAR TT (Sire: Can/Am Ch Immerzu Bear’s Paw TT. Dam: Can Ch Szervusz Sunrise for Immerzu) b. 1987 - d. 2002

"Dundee" was the sole survivor of his litter, and grew up to be one of our most influential stud dogs. He had a great showdog attitude and lovely driving movement, but was never campaigned extensively since he did not carry the big coat usually expected of a special. He finished his American championship with three majors, including Best of Winners for a 5-point major at a Puli Club of America supported entry on a specialty weekend.

He sired Pulis who have excelled in many arenas, and with several different owners, as follows:- Can Ch Immerzu Like Magic - Group placer (owned by Patricia Heagy, Scout Lake, Saskatchewan) Am Ch Immerzu Moving Target CD, CGC - Group placer (owned by Willa Burco, Oelwein, Iowa) Am Ch/Can OTCH Immerzu Northern Light UDX, OAJ, OA (owned by Jan Peterson, Buffalo, Minnesota - check out his own page) Ch Immerzu Pebble in the Sky CDX, HIC (owned by Bob & Pat Carpenter, Edmonton, AB - check out her own page) Can/Am Ch Immerzu Pocket Rocket (owned by Deb & Zach Stadelman, Hays, Kansas) Can Ch Immerzu Whiskey Jack - Best Puppy, Puli Club of America national specialty, Denver, Colorado, 1995 (owned by ourselves) Immerzu Yiminy Cricket Can/Am CD - #2 obedience Puli in Canada in 1997; High in Trial, Puli Club of America national specialty, Portland, Oregon, 1997 (owned by Ann Tober, Edmonton, Alberta)

"Kicsi" was a very successful performance Puli in both Canada and the U.S.A, as well as being a very handsome dog who easily finished his American championship. We are very proud of him and his owner/trainer Jan Peterson of Buffalo, Minnesota. Kicsi won many High in Class and High in Trial awards in Canada and the U.S.A. He ranked #1 obedience Puli in Canada in 1994, 1997, and 1998, and was #2 in 1996. In the U.S.A. he was #1 obedience Puli in 1993 and 1994, and placed in the Top 10 in several other years. He completed his UDX early in 1999 and then concentrated on agility, which he enjoyed enormously.

Can Ch IMMERZU PEBBLE IN THE SKY CDX, HIC (Sire: Can/Am Ch Immerzu Hello Bear. Dam: Can/Am Ch Immerzu Going to the Sun Can/Am CD, TT) b. 1992 - d. 2006

"Pebble" very much resembled her dam Cassy, both tall and beautiful bitches with impressive coats and wonderful movement. In the ownership of Bob and Pat Carpenter (kennel name Kirasdream) of Edmonton, Alberta, she was extremely successful in the showring, the obedience ring, and the whelping box, just like her Mom. She was guided to her many Group placements by three different handlers: Pat Carpenter, Tamzin Horan, and Stephanie Horan, and to her obedience wins and herding certification by Pat. She ranked in Canada as follows: #4 in 1994; #3 in 1995; #3 in 1996; #3 in 1997; and #4 in 1998.

"Dice" was a sweet and cheerful dog who enjoyed dog shows and people. He was shown very little as a special after her finished his Canadian and American championships because he tended to scratch out coat periodically - as soon as he looked good with decent coat length he would give himself a haircut! He actually finished his American championship in a major entry with short cords on his front half and lovely long cords on the rear half - obviously his sound structure and excellent movement won over the judge that day! He became our super stud dog, siring many Pulis who have excelled in conformation and performance events. He is pictured at two years old.

"Fay" was a lovely typy bitch, with a beautiful coat and movement, sound and straight. She had multiple group-placements in Canada, and was Winners Bitch at the Puli Club of America national specialty in Houston, Texas, in 1998. She ranked #3 Puli in Canada in 1998, #2 in 2001, and #4 in 2002 at the age of nine! She won BOB from the Veteran class at the Puli Canada supported entry at the 2005 Working- Herding Dog Association of Alberta show in Red Deer, and then went on to win a group 4th placing - an amazing achievement at the age of 12 1/2! Later the same month she won BOS in the 10+ Veteran Sweepstakes at the Puli Club of America national specialty in California, and we were totally devastated to lose her two weeks later to a fast-acting cancer. She was a truly outstanding Puli who never grew old.
