The Spotted Devil Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Ok we are officially 6 sleeps away from the arrival of NZ's first Portuguese Podengo Pequeno smooth :D Pics or it didn't happen AND need more on the how and why please :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podengo Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 OMG! They are the cutest! you will forever get "what is s/he crossed with?" though :) I expect lots of pictures! Yes so prepared for that! And the "Oh I saw a litter of 12 of those at the Tokoroa pound last year" hahaha Pics or it didn't happen AND need more on the how and why please :D Here's a photo of him with his vet after having his pre flight blood tests done! As to the how and why... I saw the breed added to the NZKC list of recognized breeds a few years ago and was interested (liked the temperament and look), then as Elsie was coming up to 3 years I decided it was time for another dog, and living in a very small house and with input from my partner decided a little dog was the best option for us. I don't do fuzzy/wirey/long hair so my list was pretty much composed of italian greyhounds, English toy terriers, jack russells and the pods. My partner realllyyy wanted an iggy, but after seeing soo many through work with broken legs I decided I didn't want to have that cloud hanging over me every time I walk puppy in the forest with Elsie, and my partner wasn't keen on another terrier type dog (Elsie is a lot of dog lol!) so after some careful consideration... and meeting the breeder and some pods in the flesh last year... We decided they're for us :) Everything I've read about the temperament of the breed is appealing, they're cute and generally really healthy too. I've met a lot of people that compete in agility and obedience with them via facebook in Europe... So yeah there you go! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podengo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) HE IS SO CUTE!! Please post many photos when he arrives! Will you be showing him or becoming a breeder? There will be many, many photos! :D We have plans to compete in similar sports to Elsie if it takes his fancy (agility, tracking/working trials and obedience). Going to write a submission to the NZKC so Pods get added to the list of breeds that can lure course for titles too, so will have a turn at that hopefully! I don't have any plans on becoming a breeder Fantastic DD! And CUTE!!!!! So so pleased for you. You've done an awesome job with Elsie and I look forward to watching your Pod Journey :D Thanks! :D Elsie is very spoiled and it will be a shock for her not being the absolute centre of my universe 24/7. She has been trying to get used to the idea by trying his new collar & harness on! Edited March 3, 2015 by DiscoDobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 My Bergamasco baby is nearly 8 weeks old & he will be coming home when he is 12 weeks! Not long to go now!! I have named him QUI, pronounced KWEE, which means HERE in Italian! OMG! Bergamasco! When you get him you need to start your own thread and keep us updated on this little dude! Ok we are officially 6 sleeps away from the arrival of NZ's first Portuguese Podengo Pequeno smooth :D They same goes for you too! I've seen you talk about them since I joined up, I'm so glad you managed to get one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsd114 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Well things have fallen into place for us for once. We will be getting a Cane Corso pup after Easter. We were looking at the corsos a while ago, and my hubby swayed us in another direction but we helped a friend with sourcing a corso pup and I got my way and we will have a little (not for long) corso pup. Hubbys happy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAZNAT Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 This is our little boy Bodhi. We are so excited. He doesn't come home for another few weeks. He's my first dog ever. Where do you dog lovers suggest taking him whilst he is still undergoing his injection schedule. I want him to be a well socialised dog considering he's going to be so big. Someone said put him in a trolley and walk through Bunnings -- do they allow dogs? (Love the idea of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poochmad Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Try again. Is he a Ridgie? He's very cute regardless. When we got our male pup, we just carried him around everywhere, including taking him to cafes, but making sure his feet didn't touch the ground and he loved all the attention. He's now a very sociable boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denali Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 He is gorgeous Maznat! In regards to bunnings i think its an individual store thing.
