Hungarian Puli Dog Names

With televised dog shows becoming more popular and the viewing audience becoming larger, people are learning more and more about the different dog breeds that are recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC). The Hungarian Puli is one such dog that most people would not know anything about without first seeing them on the television participating in a dog show. Preston, or Cordmaker Mister Blue Sky, is a Hungarian Puli that millions of people saw competing in several different televised dog shows. Preston is an AKC BISS/BIS Silver Grand Champion and an Australian BIS Supreme Champion. Preston’s breeder, Sue Huebner, and co-owner, Penny Kelly, take turns handling Preston. He was born in Australia and began his show career when he was only 12 weeks old and surprisingly won Best in Show. Preston has many prestigious Pulik in his pedigree including Cordmaker One Spy Too Many, Cordmaker Mississippi Mud, and Cordmaker Tennessee Waltz.
