So completely different, very fast and energetic. Playing with sticks, leafs, grassblades and of course their toys. Even the big toys of the Estrela’s are being used! Both girls have different characters. Conchita is calm, loves to be hugged and a bit conservative. Carmel is quite busy, can’t sit still and is not impressed of anything. Fortunately they like each other very much and so are we (and our large dogs) happy that we took two of them at once. They still have an enormous respect for the bigger dogs. Conchita Carmel 06-06 The first showresult for our Podengo’s is a fact. Conchita went yesterday to her first show. Five months old, she performed in the Babies Class. Judge Mr. M. de Weijer was very optimistic about her and she was qualified as “Very Promissing”. Finally she became second best baby in show! 10-05 They are here. After a long time waiting, today we added two new Portuguese girls to our group. No Estrela’s this time. During our trips to Portugal we have met this lively, energetic, cheerful and robust breed. The new ladies belong to a very rare breed in the Netherlands, the Podengo Português Pequeno (wired hair). They are registered with the FCI since 1978. They are the only ones in the Dutch Pedigree Book. In Portugal the hunters use these dogs to chase rabbits and rats. There are six varieties. The Podengo Português Grande, the Medio and the Pequeno. All in smooth- and wired hair. The Pequeno’s height will be between 20 and 30 cm and his weight will be about 4 to 5 kilo. Our girls, Conchita do Vale do Juiz (Born 02-01-2009) and Carmel do Vale do Juiz (Born 23-02-2009) will be seen at shows, trained for agility and if possible we also will breed with them. Of course you can follow their activities at our website.
