    The kitten is about 9 weeks right now and he's still here. He's been eating dry food for a couple weeks now and uses a litter box. He has learned to climb up my pants leg when he wants on my lap but he's more interested in running around than being held. Interacting with the adult cats has been good for him but he still tends to bite my hands in play. He's ready for adoption. I just have to find a cat rescue group to take him.

    Here are a couple of pics I snapped of the kitten and Gypsy.

    OMG! How adorable they both are…It should be easy to place a cutie like that...hopefully. I know it can be hard sometimes, but maybe with the holidays coming up, someone will be looking for one. Keep updating...I hope it goes well.

    Hee Hee! That kitty is there to stay. The date of the original post is Oct 2006. That kitty was destined to be permanent from day one. How many cats do you have now, Robyn? Don't I recall there being 4? One thing for sure, her pups leave her home thinking that cats are not prey….cats are merely very mobile toys.

    Thanks everyone! Dylan is so much prettier in person, these pics dont do her justice at all :D The marking on her side is so strange, i think it looks like an "@" symbol :D Maya really likes them actually, she has been used to cats as she was raised with my old man Simon. She has just come into season and has gone all pathetic and maternal and seems to think these kittens are her babies so she is just all over them washing them (much to their disgust!!) and cuddlng them. Saves me grooming them i suppose lol!!

    Maya has caught a pigeon out of the air once, she jumped about 4ft from a standstill and grabbed it, then didnt seem to know what to do with it! That was when she was just a puppy too..! So i am very careful if i do have her out with the birds (very rarely), she is kept on a very short lead and not left out of my sight for a second. She has never attempted to grab at them but she is a bit to fascinated by them for my liking..! :D Ruby will look like this as an adult: [image: 2362033537_a4abc5e17b.jpg] [image: 3534770357_90b7ed532f.jpg?v=0] Not a whole lot different to how she is now, she will lose the blue ring around her neck and instead will have a red ring going around the top of her neck and just a blue nape instead of the blue ring. She will also lose the black feathers in her red chest. Really she will just have clearer colours than she does now, the baby colours are not as bright and vibrant and have a lot of black/blue feathers mixed in with the other colours.

    @dmcarty: I typically only breed when I have some good home lined up as well. But when I started to investigate the breed - there were 19 Podengo Grande Smooth registered in the world. So I started the project to see what we in the US could do to increase the numbers and to motivate those breeders in Portugal to register their dogs. We are starting to see some success and never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have 11 puppies. I do have some homes and some will go to different parts of the US for breeders of other size Podengo to show off, I have a few that are staying by me and a friend has offered to take in a couple to continue socializing when I have to go back to school in the fall. Once they get their shots and I can get them out and about - I think I will see some interest. My good friend Wendy (Harehill Hounds) has been very helpful in building some interest in the Beezer community as well. It really sounds that you know what you are doing, so everything will turn out fine , I am sure about that! meanwhile you can show us loads of pictures of the bunch :D

    @Ninabeana26: Also good to hear such a positive update about your furkids! How ever did you get to the point where you could leave dash uncrated during the day while you are gone?!? I want to get Dallas like that buy I worry that he will destory everything he can get to in time… Well, we didn't have much of a choice. He would freak out so bad in a regular crate he would make his feet bleed and pee everywhere and the expen he learned to lift it up and tip it so he could sneak underneath. So we decided it was a good time to try it and he has been happy ever since.

    The more feedback the better. I really want a site that is useful for people who are just starting to research the breed.
