For those of you who would like to - I do have a little poll of sorts going on on the website below - you can guess the date and the number of puppies. Winner gets to pick a registered name for a puppy (as long as it's not offensive or gross.)

Oh my Lordy, she is huge. I'm suprised she can even move. Good luck with the whelping!

of course this is even more complicated by my dog whelping help - my daughter - broke her leg on Friday. At my house even - geez.
So I think I'm on my own for this - whoopie!

Oh my Diana, there's certainly a bunch of little ones in there! Good luck and happy whelping. :) Can't wait to see what you get. Sorry to hear about your daughter, yikes!
I met up with Mary Dixon at the lure trial a couple weeks ago. She has wirehaired medios over here. What a hoot she is! lol We chatted about Hanna and had a good time talking about the similarities of our breeds.

wow, she even waddles, just like I did when I was 9 days out…poor thing. What an amazing feat though, to have the first litter in US...good for y'all and for Hanna. Let us know how things are going. Do you know how many pups to expect?

Oh poor thing!!! They always look like peeing is the worst torture at that stage, and of course they need to pee every thirty seconds! I can't wait to hear how it goes…fingers crossed, and best of luck :)

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.

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.

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

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:
http://www.podengo-mediogrande.com/puppy.html
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.
