“Fado”
“Fado” received the Award of Merit at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show She was presented by Billy Huntington
“Fado” has the title of being the quietest and the loudest of all our dogs at the same time. She is a beautiful and delightful Portuguese Podengo Pequeno. When we first got ‘Fado’ she is quiet, shy and reserved but full of love and pride. We knew instantly if we could bring her out of her shell and give her confidence we would have a winner. Now, “Fado” can certainly sing a song. She has a distinct sound she makes when she alerts me of danger, strangers, and more often than not a cat. She is a beautiful star in the Podengo world.
“Fado (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈfaðu]; “destiny, fate”) is a music genre which can be traced to the 1820s in Portugal, but probably with much earlier origins.”
