Welcome to our home on the web...

 

 

At TrailsEnd farm we believe in the preservation of rare and heritage breeds. We are located in beautiful North Carolina. The base of our farm is our Estrela Mountain Dogs.  We believe that true type and temperament are very important today.
 

Proudly working with the Estrela Mountain Dog for almost 10 years. We have searched high and low for different bloodlines, new genetic depth and diversity to add to our lines.  We have been to Portugal many times, and to the  UK on this quest. It has been an adventure! We have enjoyed every minute of it.

 Ask us about our puppy yard.  Ask us for references.     

NOT all breeders xray, do your homework!!  

Our puppies undergo an extensive socialization. 
We DO NOT breed for show, we show to protect the breed and educate judges on the breed. 

TrailsEnd dogs are trained at Einstein Canine Training and Activity Center.
 
Please enjoy our site and come back often to check for updates and new pictures.

Please read our About Us page on how we do things here, at TrailsEnd.

Updates and Front Page Photo

No your eyes are not playing tricks on you.  The photo above is Mijokrs HB Merriweather Lewis. He is our Portuguese Podengo, Grande, Smooth coat.   While we wait on breeding our girls this fall, and hopefully producing our future male, we plan to get Lewis out to some shows.  Madeline will be starting her Junior handling and I will hopefully learn some new events with Lewis,,,,like Lure Coursing! 

We are working on getting new photos up, a page on our next stud dogs, Z and Puhti, and a page on Lewis. "Melon' would probably like a Junior Handling page too.  Where she can post her handling and event news.

Check the Gallery for more photos and check back often for our updates.

 

 

Parade of Portugal Summary

Another successful year at the Parade of Portugal.  Entries were down in all events, and we were no exception.
However we had a wonderful show.  The chinese raffle was wonderful.  My daughter was a super Raffle 'queen'.  
In three hours the kids sold over $300 worth of tickets.  We are very proud of them and grateful for all the donations we had.

The BISS:

Podengo Portugueso (Medio-wire)
CH Ally's Full August Moon ("Zeke")
Breeders: Mary Dixon & Allison Jones
Owned by Carol Sowders and Mary Dixon.

Our own McCoy by TrailsEnd was the RBISS. 
Last year she was a bratty pup, this year she was a bratty pup.

We have put a bunch of photos on Facebook. 

Please also see the Parade of Portugal page on Facebook.  We are starting on PoP 2011, so you can find all the details there!

 

 

 

Our summer plans

We have a busy summer lined up.  The Parade of Portugal (all portuguese breeds speciality) is in July this year.  Please see paradeofportugal.com for more information. We hope to take our Grande Podengo too!   It will be nice to see all our friends again.  Please feel free to contact us for more information.

We are also looking at our next litter, this is most likely Tapada's last litter.  We will be using a new import on her.  More information on him soon.  We hope to put a page up for him.  One of the male puppies will stay here and be a hopeful for us. Currently there are 3 openings on this litter.  She should come into heat in about a month.  Contact us for more information.
