| C Litter |
This was our first litter of Portuguese pointers. Their names commemorate towns in the Ribatejo
region of Portugal where Jack's family still lives. As 2007 is the "C" year for naming Lusitano horses,
we felt it appropriate to also choose names for our Portuguese dogs beginning with this letter.
We kept all three of the puppies in this litter. It has been an invaluable learning experience for us to
see them develop. The puppies have been DNA-tested, microchipped, Penn-HIP evaluated, OFA
preliminary hip x-rays, OFA thyroid tested, CERF eye tested and color genotyped. They've all been
shown and had their UKC conformation championships by 10 months of age, with Chamusca earning
her UKC Grand Championship at one year of age - on her birthday! We're proud to announce that all
three girls in this litter now have their UKC Grand Championships! All are started on birds and are
being run in AKC hunt tests. Cadaval earned her AKC Junior Hunter title at 11 months of age.
