Yesterday Bri went to Canil Monte Saloio "married" and meat Louys.
We had a big surprise and pleasure in meeting one of the most beautiful and balanced Golden Retriever of this country. Bri was very lucky in meeting this boy and no photo make him justice.
Now we wait ...
Thanks for the welcome reception mother Ludovina and father António !

Lisbon and Mediterrânea dog show with our Aussies
On this weekend we made our bags and went with our colleagues of Canine Training Centre of Lagos to the dog show of Lisbon and Mediterrânea.
It was an exhaustive weekend, where we pass through very tiring and complicated moments, like the one spent in the Monsanto camping site where no one slept because of the lack of consideration of the young people that shout and drink all night.
Since it was the biggest dog show of the year it was complicated to park, lift our numbers and go to the vet inspections. But I have to give congratulations to the organization, that this year put a lot of shading places and we were able to have our dogs in decent conditions of the sun.
Also the effort to keep the schedules and the exhibitors organized was remarkable.
All my Australian Shepherd deserve congratulations, since they all received excellent classifications, specially for the handling, physical conditions and coat condition.
My Australian Shepherd Lisbon dog show results:
- Teco: C.A.C.
- Angel: 1º place in Intermédia
- Cookie: excellent
Next some photos of the presentation:
In this dog show we also had the chance to make the eye exams to Bri and Angel, and the results are available in our website.

Two Golden Retriever in Monchique
On this weekend I decided to take my two Golden Retriever, Brad and Bri, in a trip, since on the next weekend I will be all into Australian Shepherd presentation at
So after some indecision about the place to visit some how the road lead us to Monchique.
And I must say, what a city ! Lovely, so green and full of nice restful parks and green gardens. We almost could say we weren’t in
Our two Golden Retriever were very well received by the people and recede lots of complement, so a big reward for us. My son had a lovely time in the children play areas and love the flours, green gardens and of course water nora.
So a really nice place to visit in
The development of the town was attributed to the growth of the wool and flax mills; and to the Chestnut tree saw mills.

- Dog trekking to a museum
- Dog trekking in Almada
- Dog Trekking in Serra de Sintra
- Alcochete - goldens and aussies

New pet on the house …
We got a Guinny Pig, witch we gave the name of Fofinho (Flufy) and it is my son “sleeping companion”, since it is more of his size and strength.
Ok ! The idea come from my son asking a replacement for his hamster that died some time ago. I was a little bit unwilling, but we got an agreement, he will sleep always in his room and I would get him a little friend to make him company.
Well, this was about three weeks ago and until now the deal is on !
Like every house shared by domestic “wolfs” and their “preys” some cares were taken and in any time they are near each other.
Even with the cage I decided to have a strong one, just in case an accident will occur.
Until now I must admit the creature is quite lovely and the special taste for vegetable and fruits give us pleasure and of course the need to interact with him.
After the first two days of being afraid and wondering if he was going to be dog/people food, he is now at home and already comes and asks for his treats.
