This litter was used as a foundation to help establish a collaborative breeding program with the Westengo Portuguese Podengo kennel in Perth, WA.

INT Ch FIN Ch EST Ch Tahtitaivaan Emmi arrived in whelp, and three of the six puppies helped establish other breeding programs in Queensland and New South Wales. Finally, in 2010 I imported the very first Portuguese Podengo Pequeno into Australia, and established the breed here. I was lucky enough to own two from the kennel Tahtitaivaan, before moving overseas. I discovered the Portuguese Podengos back in Finland in 1997, when I first saw them at an all breeds show.
