OUR BABIES

Za-Za de Viamonte (Za-Za) was our first Podengo bitch to be imported. Za-Za is from Miguel Sabino’s Viamonte Kennel in Portugal. She recently earned her UKC Championship, a Group One and Two, and was 5^th in UKC’s Top Ten for 2007. Za-Za whelped a beautiful boy on 11/29/08. She’s a great mommy!

Plushcourt Ega (“Ester”) was the second Podengo bitch to join us and our first UKC Champion. She was second in the UKC Top Ten for 2007 and was imported from Betty Judge’s Plushcourt Kennel in England.

Paco do Vale do Poco (“Paco”) is our only adult male at the moment and was imported from Vitor and Gabriela Veiga’s Vale do Poco kennel in Portugal. Paco recently won his UKC Championship!! Paco also sired a 5-puppy litter for P-P Paradise Kennel and another male puppy for Pioneer Podengos! Way to go Paco!

FUTURE PLANS

We have begun our breeding in earnest. Over the last year, we have had two puppies:

– Pioneer’s Li’l Abner (Dam, Za-Za de Viamonte, and Sire, Paco do Vale do Poco)

--Pioneer’s Bonnie Blue Butler (Dam, Plushcourt Ega, and Sire, Paco do Vale do Poco)

Efforts to breed toward that perfect standard will continue into the future. Hope you keep checking this site to watch our progress!
