Our Dogs  

Our dogs are much loved pets and companions. Portuguese Sheepdogs are

highly intelligent and very active dogs. They like to be involved in everything

that is going on and tag along with us in whatever we are doing: walking,

visiting Dog Days events in fact going wherever dogs are allowed. If Serra are

not kept interested they can get up to mischief. For example they will help to

dig the garden or shred plant cuttings but not in the way you might wish.

We are pleased with how well our dogs have have settled in. We must admit

though, it was like having a couple of mischievous teenagers until they learned

their new routines and became familiar with their adopted country.

   Finn is full of character and has taken to agility

   training very well. He loves to be active.   He is

   a typical male, protective and strong as well as

   being a softie at heart. He has classic black and

   tan and markings. He was bred by Paivi Metsatalo

   in Finland where he had won a number of shows

                                       including Best in Show Puppy at Helsinki in 2006.  

His father is  Portuguese and Finnish Champion Impacto da Quinta

D’Abroiera. His mother is Finnish Champion Funfun la Ninja.

        Nesp'a is a delightful feminine girl, gentle and

        calm and with a lovely playful streak. She is a more

        rare fawn colour with black points. She was bred in

        Portugal by Manuel  Correia, an international judge.

        She and Finn quickly became good friends playing 

       with their toys and enjoying races together. Nesp'a

       too had success in the Portuguese show ring as a puppy.

Her father and mother are Portuguese Champions Miko do Casal da Vinha

and Cachopa do Casal da Vinha.

We wanted to keep a pupppy from Finn and Nespa's litter. It is wonderful

watching Bonita growing up and how the 3 dogs get on together. Bonita is

bright, active and confident. She has her father's colouring.

Puppies 

Our  puppies were raised in our own home. They were ready to join their new

families from 7 weeks of age. Puppies were wormed. Vacinnation and 

microchipping was done in discussion with new owners.  Owners received

a puppy pack with information about diet, how to raise a happy puppy, training

advice including housetraining, health, care and future immunisation needs.

Each puppy had its own comfort blanket and supply of food for the first

days. Each one had its own Amigável name and pedigree. When

the breed is recognised by the British Kennel Club, the puppy can be

registered in the UK. We would be delighted to kept informed about each

puppy's progress. We would always be ready to respond to questions and

provide help in whatever way we can.
