I could not take my eyes off this dog when I saw it at the York show over the weekend!  Do you know the breed?  It’s a “Pumi”!  They are ADORABLE!  Curly fur with the cutest ears ever!  I just read on the AKC website that they are a Hungarian herding breed that originated in the 17th or 18th century from Puli mixed with French and German herding dogs plus some terrier mixed in for good measure.  They are energetic, intelligent and alert and need a job to do!  They also only shed when combed!  The Pumi is currently a member of the “Miscellaneous Class” with a herding group designation.  So, so cute!
