I started in purebred dogs when I was young but more actively pursued it about twenty years ago when I imported my first mastiff from England. I progressed through several other breeds, participating in showing, field events and rescue, until finally realizing my true interest lay in pointing dogs.
As Jack is Portuguese, he and I started looking at Portuguese gun dogs, learning about the Portuguese pointer in 2001. We were able to obtain our first, Rena de Torres, on a trip to Portugal in 2003. We welcomed our first litter out of Rena in May 2007.
We live on a small farm in the woods of southeastern Connecticut. In addition to the perdigueiros, we also have a few other dogs and several horses.
About Us
We are active in both field work and showing. We especially want to be instrumental in maintaining this breed as close to the conformation and working standards as possible while reducing health issues. We are very passionate about perdigueiros and love to share our interest with others. Please feel free to contact us by email or phone at 860.599.1661. Joaquim fala Português mas eu falou só um pouco.
Because we breed infrequently, we are always happy to help people find quality Portuguese pointers from other reputable breeders. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you would like us to help you in your search for a Portuguese pointer. We have lots of contacts globally and can assist in everything from recommending breeders to helping with translation and import.
We also have other interests outside of the Portuguese pointers. Besides the critters mentioned above, Jack also enjoys classic cars. You never know what you'll find in his garage - anything from a Corvair to a Corvette!
