Hanna the soon to be Podengo mother
-
She still however can catch a bird on the fly - I don't know who was more suprised, me, Hanna or the dead black bird.
Good girl :)
-
Staring at about midnight - Hanna started whelping the first Portugues Podengo Grande litter in the US. At noon she surprised me with a 'bonus puppy' so the grand total (unless she downloads another one) is 11.
9 boys and 2 girls. All look hale and hearty. Mom did such a good job I didn't even know she was having them
go to the whelping box to see some first pictures.
-
Wow…. 11..... hmmm... at 8 wks you will think you have 1,111
Congrats on a great litter...
-
Wow…11:eek::D!!! Congrats and glad that it all went well.
-
Amazing..11 puppies. Congrats on such a great turn out. I am glad Hanna is doing well and of course that you are staying sane. As soon as you have'em, you know we want them…pictures of course.
-
Yes and all my friends may get an early christmas gift of a puppy - so tread softly or you could be one :)
Of course I have a miserable cold and had taken nyquil so had to try to stay awake in the even she needed something - which she did not.
-
Don't tease…we very well would love to make room for another furbaby..lol
-
oh my look at those little roly poly babies
-
Awww, look at all those little monsters. :) Have fun Diana, and enjoy the "easy" early days. lol Looking forward to lots of updates.
Hey, I LIKE Christmas presents! lol

It appears that I did not provide enought info to get to the pictures - I had forgotten that I changed the page to Puppy/avaliable adult - so you can see the pictures at:

Later on more will be posted on my home page of www.mijokrbasenjis.homestead.com/podengo.html
Middle of July they will have their photo shoot with our friend Laurie Erickson and for those of you in Texas - We will be at the Reliant shows in Houston.

Wow 11!! That's great.. or should I say.. Grande!!! Congrats! Looking forward to seeing them grow up!
-
-
Congrats! Wow, 11 puppies…. How much do they have to grow before you know how many medios and/or grandes you have?
-
may not know real size until a year
-
11 - WOW!!
Are any wire-haired? I just love the wire's.
-
Well the Grandfather is wire - the unknown is Hanna's father who may have wire behind him but was not a wire himself - Wire is not dominant so the only way to get a wire is if both parents are wire - or both carry wire. (like the B tri-color coat)
Little early to say - the first sign could be some wiskering but likly not until they are a bit older.
We do have the middle size in wire in the US and that population is growing as well the last litter had only 3 - so hanna's numbers really were a bump up.
-
Congratulations and how exciting! I'm just going to your link to have a look at them.
-
Congratulations on the new arrivals!!!:D
-
I just uploaded some new pics of the Podengo babies on my basenji/podengo home page
http://mijokrbasenjis.homestead.com/podengo-puppies.html
I did a couple of comparisons of the 2 girls - heads and leg so you can see that one is - at this point - more refined than the other.
-
I just looked at the pics..and they are adorable. Seeing that one of the girls look a little bigger already, do you think she might be a grande? Either way, wow, lots of work for Hanna..and y'all.
