As custodians of this unique breed, we are indebted to the legacy of many Pulis of whom we have had the pleasure of caring for over the years, and those who are the future of our kennel. The strength of our Pulis now and into the future has been ensured by the strong foundation on which our kennel has been based. We have been proud and privileged to have had these special Pulis in our lives.

AUST SUPREME CH RUSTUFARION TOII BOII
Merlin was sired by our first American Import Aust Ch Belrob's Piece of the Rock. He enjoyed a great show campaign, winning Multiple Best In Shows and Royal Group Placements in his time. Some of Merlin's most notable success include Best in Group at the RNSWCC Spring Fair, Runner Up to Best In Group at Canberra and Bathurst Royals, and Best In Group 3rd, followed the next year by a Best In Group 2nd, at the prestigious Melbourne Royal. Our first home-bred Champion male, our first Grand Champion and first Rustufarion to win a Best In Show! The final feather in his cap was a brief return to the ring at a spritely 13.5 years of age to obtain the last challenge points to qualify for the title of Supreme Champion when it was introduced, having already fulfilled all other requirements in his career. We couldn't be prouder of his achievements in and out of the show-ring. Merlin is the sire of multiple Champion progeny, namely Multiple Best In Show winning siblings Aust Sup Ch Rustufarion Cyber Star and Aust Sup Ch Rustufarion Cyber Kaos! In his retirement, Merlin enjoyed being 'boss' around the house and was my constant companion. A once-in-a-lifetime dog, he has set the standard here at Rustufarion and will forever remain the heart and soul of our kennel. Rest easy my boy!

AUST SUPREME CH RUSTUFARION CYBER KAOS
Otto gained his Championship winning Best of Breed over more mature Pulis, but didn't start his show career in earnest until a three-year-old in late 2007. He was amongst the first to qualify for his Supreme Championship Title in July 2012, having won Multiple Royal Best of Breeds, Multiple Best In Group, and Multiple Best In Show (All Breeds) awards to his credit. Otto has twice won Best of Breed at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, twice Best In Group at the Dogs NSW Spring Fair, Best In Group 4th at the 2011 Sydney Royal Easter Show and Runner Up Best In Show at the 2011 Dogs NSW Spring Fair. He and his litter sister Aust Sup Ch Rustufarion Cyber Star, represent the third generation of Rustufarion Puli's breeding program. He also took over his grandmother Aust Ch Rustufarion Astro Star's role as 'PR Puli' by starring in several television commercials and programs, including Australia's The Celebrity Apprentice in 2012. During his show career Otto was prepared, campaigned and loved by his co-owners Patrice Smith & Courtney Spencer of Tullaview Kennels in Sydney. He retired from the ring at 10.5 years of age after winning Runner Up Best of Breed at Sydney Royal, and Runner Up Best In Group at his last competitive show later that same week. He spend 15 wonderful loving years with us, and he has left a legacy to be proud of.

AUST SUPREME CH RUSTUFARION CYBER STAR
Polly gained her title winning Multiple Class In Group awards as a youngster. During her show career she accumulated Multiple Best In Show, Runner Up In Show, and Multiple Best In Group All Breeds awards on her way to becoming a Grand, and later added Supreme Champion to her long list of accolades. Polly has won Best of Breed at Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne Royals on Multiple occasions. She achieved all this despite having several breaks from the ring to attend to maternal duties, as one of the most important components of our successful breeding program! Continuing on in her mother and grandmother's paw prints, she the dam and grand-dam of many Rustufarion Best In Show winning Supreme and Grand Champions. Polly and her litter brother Aust Sup Ch Rustufarion Cyber Kaos proudly represent the third generation of Rustufarion Puli's breeding program. Many thanks must go to Dean Hughes and Russell Barker for campaigning Polly in Victoria during her visits from 2008 to 2012. After an extremely successful show career, Polly was retired from the show-ring and lived out the rest of her days ruling the roost alongside her mother, Lulu and the rest of her Rustufarion gang. She will be terribly missed by all the team. She was one very special lady indeed!

AUST SUPREME CH RUSTUFARION CRAZY TALK (AI)
Tucker was shown sparingly as a puppy, yet began his show career winning Best Baby Puppy In Show. He is from our successful combination of Australian and American bloodlines, sired by the amazing Am Ch Prydain Trademark HT (USA), and out of our 'little dynamo' Aust Ch Rustufarion Little Star. Tucker completed his Championship Title as a two-year-old, after taking home his first Runner Up Best In Group award and was been unstoppable ever since, proudly a Multiple Best In Show, Runner Up Best In Show winner with over 100 All Breeds Group awards and almost too many Royal Group Placements to list here individually as Rustufarion's most successful Puli to date! Co-owned with and very much adored by Dean Hughes and Russell Barker, Tucker was also proudly amongst the first to qualify for the new Supreme Champion title in July 2012. After an incredibly successful show career, Tucker retired to enjoy being boss around the house and all those extra cuddles and cookies that come with retirement. The gap he leaves in our hearts will never be replaced as he was truly 'one of the greats.'

AUST SUPREME CH RUSTUFARION TELL ALL
Stella is the quiet achiever of the team; an exciting girl from our foundation girl Aust Ch Rustufarion Astro Star. She has been gifted with her mother's 'personality plus' attitude, making her popular around the ring and a much loved Junior Handler companion! From a young age, Stella has taken many a Best of Breed over more mature Pulis. In 2014, Stella wins Best of Breed at the Sydney Royal and goes on to Best In Group 3rd. She has also been awarded Runner Up Best of Breed at the 2015 Sydney Royal, 2016 Sydney Royal and 2016 Melbourne Royal. Stella is a Multiple Best In Group and Multiple Best In Show winner on her way to completing her Supreme Championship Title and has won at All Breeds and Group Specialty level. Stella also has attained her Herding Instinct Certificate. During her show career, Stella was primarily prepared, campaigned, and very much loved by Patrice and Courtney of Tullaview Kennels as well as making select outings in her later career with Royson in Sydney. At 12 years old she is very much enjoying the retirement life as one of the matriarchs at Rustufarion, and takes her job seriously as chief "welcome-wagon" for all those who comes to visit (both two or four legged).

AUST SUPREME CH RUSTUFARION OUTTA STAR (AI)
Portia is a charming lady from our successful combination of American and Australian lines. She was kept on the sidelines as a youngster allowing for maturity, and to give her mother, Aust Sup Ch Rustufarion Cyber Star and her sister, Aust Gr Ch Rustufarion Outta Space time to shine. Despite this, Portia has enjoyed many lovely wins in her career, including (like her mother) numerous and consistent Best and Runner Up Best of Breed awards in sometimes large Puli entries at Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra & Brisbane Royals alongside Multiple Best In Group (All Breeds) and Multiple Royal Best In Group 2nds at the 2017 Sydney Royal, following on from her back-to-back Group 2nd wins at Melbourne Royal in 2015 & 2016. Portia is also a valuable asset to our lines, and proudly introduced her first children to the show world in 2011. She graduated directly to her Supreme Champion title, having already won the necessary awards to qualify. She is now retired from active showing and proudly cheers on the successes of her children and grandchildren, many of which are Champions including the handsome Aust Sup Ch Rustufarion Indelible Ink.

AUST GRAND CH RUSTUFARION OUTTA SPACE (AI)
Klara is another of our exciting youngsters, a precious daughter of Aust Sup Ch Rustufarion Cyber Star and the stunning Am Ch Prydain Trademark HT (USA). So very much like her mother, Klara is proudly a Multiple Best In Group and Runner Up In Group winner as well as being proudly awarded Best In Show. She was Best of Breed at the 2012 Brisbane Royal and 2013 Adelaide Royal, Runner Up Best of Breed to her sister Portia at the 2014 Melbourne Royal. We are so proud that this little bombshell gained her Grand Championship Title despite judging career and motherhood commitments! During her prime show career, Klara has taken time out of the ring to welcome her children into the world as an important component to the future of our breeding program. She takes much delight in watching the successes of her many Champion-titled children, especially her gorgeous sons - our superstar Aust Sup Ch Rustufarion If You Don't Mind and rising star Aust Ch Rustufarion Fire When Ready, both of whom are Multiple Best In Show winners themselves. She is very much loved by Dean Hughes and Russell Barker in Victoria, and at 12 years old has now hung up her show lead and enjoys Friday afternoon beverages on the deck and walks down to the local cafe.

AUST CH RUSTUFARION ELECTRIC SHOCK
Zappa's pedigree brings together our foundation Rustufarion and American Imported lines. He debuted in the ring with back-to-back Baby Puppy In Group awards, and went on to add many more Class In Group and Multiple Class In Show awards to his resume. He accumulated over 100 points whilst in the Puppy classes, with several wins against mature competition. Awarded Multiple Royal Best of Breeds, Challenges and Reserves in his time, Zappa was campaigned to much success by Dean Hughes & Russell Barker in Victoria and later in his career up here in Sydney. He was retired from the show ring at 5 years of age, and enjoyed his last years roaming Rustufarion HQ looking for toys and adventure. He is missed every day.
