My life
with dogs started at the moment I was born,
having grow up side-by-side with them.
Indeed many of my childhood memories are of
dogs. Since those times I have learned to
love them, to admire these four legged
creatures. Why ? For their loyalty, for the
"ability" to follow their master to the end
of the world, to stay by their side whatever
happens without asking nothing in return. As
Erich Kastner said once : " The dog is
loyal when there is a storm, the humans not
even when there is wind" |

My
involvement with the Estrela Mountain Dog,
started in 1997, with one long-haired male.
These dogs had always fascinated me by their
size, their dignity - you have to see one,
to understand their "magnitude" . This male,
arrived at our house at the 16th of February
of 1997 after a long trip from the Estrela
Mountains. Soneca do Cântaro Magro is his
registration name. He is the main
responsible for our love for the Estrelas,
and have not stopped of suprised us everyday.
In 2002 we have registed our kennel-name (
affix) in the FCI ( International Cynologic
Federation ), the same year that we bought
our female Mara do Cabeço do Seixo. Later
came the Amstaff (you may read more on it's
page) |

About
the Podengo Portugues Grande Pelo Liso .. .well,
the idea first came when we read that the
breed was (and is) almost extinct. We felt
sorry for such a disgrace and we tought that
we could do something to help it.
Tiago also wanted another breed for hunting
"not birds". So, from this point we engaged
on a search of a Podengo. I must say that
I'm loving Podenga (our first girl) as she
is the funniest and exotic dog I've ever had! |

We're
not really fan of dog-show, however we do
show our dog a couple a time a year, on the
most important dog-show. We also test them
for their character, as we believe that
brains are a little more important than
beauty, after all you will live 12year with
the dog's personallity!. |
|
|
|
We do
not believe in breeding only for selling and
we never have more than 1 litter per year! |
 |
|
All our
dogs, are family dogs, members of our family,
accompanying us day by day, side by side in
our life, being loving family dogs, and
great guard dogs ! Our dogs, also run free
in all our house, not living all the time in
kennels |
|
|
|
We don't have
many litters (maximun 1 or 2 litter per year) so
that we can give proper are to all our
dogs/pups. Our females are only used once or
twice and we always kept one pup from each
litter. We are very carefull when
choosing future owner of our pups. When
applying to one of our pups, please give us
as much information you can (where do you
live, why do you want a AST, how many dogs
do you own..). We hold the right to refuse
any aplication! |
|
|
|
They
are feed with premiur dog-food, and also
with BARF ( Bones and Raw Food) since we
also believe in the natural ways of feeding
dogs. |
