Zappa is the 'quiet achiever' of the team, always a consistent winner in the show ring and a character around the yard. He began his show career in Victoria with Dean Hughes and Russell Barker and under their care and guidance was piloted to numerous Class In Show wins, gaining his title at a young age. He has been recognised by local, interstate and international judges, proving himself on the big stage by taking out several big wins, as the youngest Rustufarion Puli to win a big ribbon in the Best In Show line up (at under three years of age) as well as the youngest to win a Royal Group Placing (at just over three years old). 26 February 2012 Zappa wins Best of Breed (entry of 14) and Runner up to Best in Group at Canberra Royal in an entry of 350+ working dogs. At 2.5 years of age, Zappa wins Best of Breed (entry of 19) and Best In Group under breed specialist Dr Leif Ragnar Hjorth (Rosenhjorth Pulis), and goes on RUNNER UP TO BEST IN SHOW at the Dogs NSW Spring Fair (Saturday) 2011!
