They're a Hungarian herding dog related to the puli. The site with the most accurate information about them is PumiWorld.
They thank you for your kind compliment.
No, they're only 4 months old. The coat is pretty low-maintenance. I haven't done anything but rake them one a week.
They thank you as well for your compliment. All this female attention!
Me too. I think it's rather poignent.
They agree with you on both points. Particularly the first . Yes, it is beautiful. We're very lucky and I hope we can keep it as beautiful. It's tough with all the development going on around here. We're one of the few farms left in the area.

The pictures were taken at my mom's house where I grew up and it's generally ok for the dogs to be there but there are coyotes, bobcats, and at least one sow bear so it's not entirely safe for them. I avoid taking them out near dusk as that's when the bears and coyotes go out to hunt.
Exurbia such as ours is rapidly turning into suburbia. The farm is right outside the village of Warwick and the land is very highly valued for development. Taxes are not remotely reasonable even though there is a big break for being zoned agricultural. More than a few developers have knocked on the door of late offering a lot of money for the land but so far we have been able to resist. That may not always be so. I'd like to see it preserved forever as it is, in a hobbit sense, my shire. I love the fields, the woods, and the little rippling brook. I just hope that I can continue to keep it up as best I can and then, someday, deed it all to a conservation group.

If only you knew how beautiful. There is much more. Places more rare, more fragile, more unique.
My family has farmed this land for over 200 years and never has the pressure been so intense. If we cannot afford to keep it, I'd rather see the house taken down and the land revert to wild. Yes I'd be giving-up millions, but I could die without regret.
Let me put it this way. Trees make horrible playmates. As a kid I lived so far from anyone near my age that all I had was the woods and I came to learn it very well. I know the trees, the bushes, the plants. I know where things live and how to read what's happening in the woods themselves. Despite that, for my 11th birthday I asked for a tree, a dawn redwood. My 13th birthday present was a gingko. Both are still there. The gingko is naturally still small, but the dawn redwood is over 50 feet! You should see it in the summer. Deep red shaggy bark with bright green fronds that look like hemlock, only lighter, but are actually deciduous like a larch. Previously only known by fossils, the tree was rediscovered in Sichuan province in China in 1945. A small stand was discovered, an enclave of a prehistoric tree thought long lost. Dinosaurs knew this tree, as they did the much more popular gingko, and that was cool enough for me.
This dawn redwood looks much like my mine. The cool part is nobody knows how tall it grows in optimal conditions:
Now I REALLY want a wollimi pine.opcorn:
I was a weird kid.
