Life Before Podengos

These are the dogs I had from the time I was a young child until I got my first Podengo. They are all a part of the dog story and all connect in some way to my Podengos. Click on photo for title.

This is Taffy, one of my grandmother's Spitz dogs and my very favorite! In Europe, Podengos are in the Primitive Spitz-like category.
This is Petey, who I found at the local animal shelter. He grew up with me in New Haven
Don Basilio, my first English Bulldog who lived for 15 very interesting years!
My second English Bulldog, Irene, sweetest girl in the world!
My favorite Bulldog ever, Basil II only lived to six. He would sit on the piano bench and bang away until he got my attention.
We got Sam in 1986, a great, super intelligent Lab!
This is Bob La Habra as a puppy in 1986 and he was with us until 2000. He really got me thinking about Podengos.
Maggie joined us in 1989 and graced our world until 2003. Here she is relaxing on Monhegan Island in Maine.
Rocky found us on a beach in Guajataca, Puerto Rico in 1992 and was with us until 2006. He raised many Podengos and was sweet, calm and loving
We took in Gus Appleby, a Rottweiler-Lab mix, for a weekend and he stayed three years. Here he is with our first Podengo, Manny, in 2001.
