The Portuguese Podengo was introduced into the Ballahond Kennels in 2010. Quality and soundness is foremost when considering this small, active and intelligent breed. Ballahond has promoted these attributes and gained success in the show and dog sports with titles in conformation Showing, Rally Obedience, and Earthdog trials.
I fell in love with this breed several years ago when I was introduced by the lady who is responsible for bringing the first Portuguese Podengo to Australia.
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) and Runner Up to Best In Show (BIS 2nd).
Alarves Podengos also compete successfully in other dogs sports such as Obedience, Agility, Scentwork and Lure Coursing 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 Excellent.
The ideal companion to sleep at your feet or share your days with.
Over 20 years of breeding, showing and grooming experience with cairn terriers. The prefix was Banmhor. I was on the hunt for a small breed without the coat care of a cairn terrrier.
I contacted Annika from Sleykh kennels in 2016, she had a little bitch available. I took the chance and this little girl arrived sitting in the back of the crate at the airport very overwhelmed. Little Vida is my precious old girl now. Her sister arrived with us a year later in 2017.
We bred the first litter in WA in 2018 under the Sleykh prefix.
The mission is to promote and show others how incredible a Podengo is, the perfect little companion. One POD will lead to two!
In April 2024 our first litter will be born under our own Prefix Westengo.
Thanks to Annika Oksa, Sleykh kennels for all help and support over the past 8 years.
Yet to be confirmed in whelp.
