Portuguese Podengo Breeders, QLD

I fell in love with this breed 15 years ago when I was introduced by the lady who is responsible for bringing the first Portuguese Podengo to Australia. I have been breeding Podengo Small Smooth Haired for over 10 years. This versatile breed excels at pretty much anything they try. They are smart, sweet little dogs with a great sense of humour. They never really take anything too seriously & lighten even the darkest of days with their joyful antics. Alarves Podengos have been successful in the show ring all over Australia: Winning Best Of Breed at Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne Royal Shows for seven years in a row. Winning Best Of Breed at Sydney Royal with the largest entry of 17 Podengos and awarded Junior in the Hound Group at the 2017 Royal Queensland Show. Alarves Podengos are proud to have bred the only Podengo in Australia to have been awarded Best In Group (Group 1st) of the Hound Group and Runner Up to Best In Show (BIS 2nd). Alarves Podengos also compete successfully in other dogs sports such as Obedience, Agility, Scentwork, Lure Coursing & SprintDog (100m sprint), both here in Australia and in New Zealand. Alarves are proud to have bred the only Podengos in Australia to gain their lure coursing titles of Coursing Ability to Coursing Ability Masters. The ideal companion to sleep at your feet or share your days with.

The Wirehaired Slovakian Pointer, aka Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer (SRHP), is an amalgamation of three breeds, the Czeskey Fousek, the Weimaraner and the German Wirehaired Pointer. Hunters wanted a dog that was biddable and did not range too far, with the emphasis for a particular aptitude for finding shot game, being reliable on a scent trail and retrieving. This lead to the development of the SRHP. The breed has a distinguished appearance, sturdily built but not cumbersome, with the body length exceeding height (Male 62-68cms (24.5 - 27 ins). Female 57-64cms (22.5 - 25 ins))and double coated. Base colour is grey of any shade, with or without contrasting grey patches. The gait is balanced and lively, ground covering, with good reach and drive. I have been involved with the 'Slovakians' for over 17 years beginning with Ansona Cleopatra - Asha, and I was fortunate enough to import another Slovakian, who is now Grand Champion Ansona into the Future (Imp UK) who was the top Slovakian for 2021 & 2022 with multiple Best in Group wins at Championship Show level. She has produced some lovely puppies to Goose with outgoing temperaments who are now ready for their new homes.
