Naturally, Crocus was the obvious choice. Both youngsters did their very best. Some elements went better, others less so\u2014but the important thing is that each new experience helps them both improve. And not only them&#8230;<\/p><p>This weekend opened my eyes\u2014in a good way\u2014to how difficult it is to compete in Junior Handling with a \u201clesser-known\u201d breed. Adam is not the only one learning; his fellow competitors and the judge are also learning that:<\/p><ul><li>The Puli should be judged on the table, which did not happen on this occasion.<\/li><li>The Puli has a square build, and its dense, long coat can make the dog appear longer than it really is\u2014something the junior handler must respond to correctly.<\/li><li>The Puli should not trot with the long stride that looks so elegant in other breeds. Instead, it happily bounces along beside its handler\u2019s leg and therefore belongs among the breeds shown at a brisk walk.<\/li><\/ul><p><br>Adam received only minimal point deductions from both judges and even reached the semi-final on Saturday. Thank you\u2014this is very motivating for a beginner.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p><p>We are going back to training, and we will see you at the next competition.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b732472 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b732472\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.puli.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/adamov-junior-handling.avif\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Adamov junior handling\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzIzNCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3d3dy5wdWxpLnNrXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC9hZGFtb3YtanVuaW9yLWhhbmRsaW5nLmF2aWYifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1278\" src=\"https:\/\/www.puli.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/adamov-junior-handling.avif\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-3234\" alt=\"Adamov junior handling\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>22 &#038; 23.8.2026 Adam\u2019s Junior Handling Debut The time had come for Adam to start competing too.
