Bob and Marilyn in 1986
Inspiration!

This is not a Podengo. My little guy, Bob la Habra, was the inspiration for my Podengos. I had always had medium to large breed dogs -- Spaniels, Labs, and English Bulldogs. On a visit to California in 1986, I found Bob, a long hair Chihuahua mix, who lived another 13 years, often with heart and kidney problems. Bob was my first small dog and he went everywhere with me. When he passed on, I diligently searched for a healthy small breed that looked like him. And voila! I found the little wire hair Podengo, our heart's delight.
