Pumi's?
I was reading one of my childhood books and there was mention of a Pumi in it.I've never come across the breed before.
I would've put it in one of the groups, but when it came up on google it was suggested it was a sheepherding terrier...
Any ideas?

Seems a shame, as they are certainly very different-looking!

They are a herding breed but have the tenacity of a terrier and really need a job to do.
Theres a couple of breeders in Europe and someone in the UK has imported a few.

So there is little chance someone on dogsey owns one then?

I did lots of googling after watching him/her.

I don't think I'd be the right kind of owner for a Pumi but when I watch her I wish I was.

I don't really do hard work.
