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 5th
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
Over the last year, Pioneer Podengos has been
registering our breeding stock with AKC’s Foundation Stock Service as well
as performing medical tests in order to register our Podengos with OFA,
CERF, and AKC’s DNA registry. As a
kennel, we believe in the health of our breed and any future litters. Therefore, we are doing all we can to
ensure our dogs’ well-being.
Now that we have our first puppy from Za-Za and Paco,
we plan to breed Ester with Paco next.
Keep watching for news in the spring.
