Hats off to all of the Podengos and their people who participated and were so friendly with the audience and exhibitors. Lots of education about this delightful breed took place. And to veteran and Maine resident Amalia, aka Donzela's mom, who visited the show with her owner Mark Baldwin and demonstrated how able she is as she taught other Podengos some of her skills.
