WESTENGO is a premier breeding establishment located in Noranda, Bayswater WA, specializing in the Portuguese Podengo, specifically the Small Smooth Haired variety. With over 20 years of experience in breeding, showing, and grooming dogs, Liz Jewell, the founder, has dedicated her passion to promoting this unique breed. The Portuguese Podengo is known for its excellent hunting skills and makes for a wonderful family companion when properly socialized. At WESTENGO, the mission is to educate potential dog owners about the incredible qualities of the Podengo, ensuring that each puppy is well-prepared for a loving home.
As the first breeder of Portuguese Podengos in Western Australia, WESTENGO is committed to responsible dog ownership and the well-being of its animals. The breeding program began in 2018 under the Sleykh prefix, and the first litter under the WESTENGO prefix is anticipated in April 2024. The establishment is a proud member of DogsWest and actively promotes the importance of early socialization and training for these intelligent and energetic dogs. The Portuguese Podengo is a primitive sighthound that comes in three sizes—Pequeno, Medio, and Grande—each with distinct temperaments and working habits.
At WESTENGO, every puppy is provided with one month of free pet insurance, ensuring that new owners have peace of mind as they welcome their new furry family member. The team at WESTENGO is dedicated to fostering a community of responsible pet owners and is always available to answer queries and provide guidance. With a focus on quality breeding practices and a deep love for the breed, WESTENGO is set to make a significant impact in the world of dog breeding.
