Catskill Pumi
Meet the breeder
I'm Ildiko R., the breeder behind Catskill Pumi located in Delhi, NY. We offer healthy, quality puppies with outstanding disposition, drive and conformation from health checked working and champion parents. Our Pumik successfully compete in a variety of dog sports. We have national and regional specialty winners, and multiple Westminster KC show winners incl. BOB.
Q. & A. with Ildiko
Why did you start breeding?
We needed reliable herding dogs that working style fit our farm’s set up and could handle pressure while working with livestock. When we’ve chosen the Pumi for its exceptional trainability, obedience, adoptability and boldness. We’ve also reached out to European breeders and traveled to learn about the breed and get involved in its preservation and improvement.What makes your program special?
We keep our puppies for ten weeks. We have a progressive breeding program where we utilize new ideas to raise our puppies. We provide weekly live streaming via FB while the puppies are with us. Communication and transparency with our clients are a priority. We keep a close relationship with and offer help to our puppy buyers even after the dogs left to their new homes.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn, white, silver gray, gray, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
