Well, the Fourth is almost here, and we have yet to see much of any sun here in the NorthEast, but plenty of rain!
Elsewhere in history, other than the TaylorBaker Cousins, on July First—

Happy Birthday, CarolAnn!!
Tell us more about these puppies--why are they the first litter born in the US?
Love,
Oops I think that was a hint for me! They are my litter. As some of you may or may not know I raise and show dogs - I am also an AKC dog show judge. I got interested in the Portuguese Podengo because my mother is from Portugal.
After a lot of research and lots of conversation with the Portuguese - in Feb of 2008 I brought in Hanna the first of her size - Grande into the US. Then in October along came Buster.
So these puppies that Carol enjoys - and obviously they enjoy her visits - were born on May 30th. The first registered Portuguese Podengo Grande Smooth litter in the US.
The Podengo is a foundation stock service breed with the AKC and is able to compete in Obedience and Lure coursing events but not yet the dog show stuff that you see on TV. We're working on that.
I will be traveling to Houston TX next week for our Specialty Show - so any T/B counsins down there or on the way - let me know - love to stop for a fast picture for the Blog!
