Pekin
Female · Senior · 11 years
Pekin del Matochar is a lovely older Brittany, he is eleven years old, although you would not know it, he is still very active, his date of birth is 11/09/2014. Pekin is a gorgeous Brittany, he has an elegant bearing and beautiful colours. He is robustly built with harmonious proportions. He is currently quite shy with people, but little by little he is letting us touch him and no longer runs away when you try to pick him up. He is sociable with dogs, and prefers the companionship of female dogs. Pekin (and his brother Poker) came from a Brittany breeder near Madrid. We recently heard that the breeder was being evicted from his land and his 33 Brittanys were at risk. He managed to rehome 15 of the dogs and together with two other rescues we offered to take the remaining 18 dogs. The breeder brought them up to the north of Spain and SeBPRA took on 11 of the Brittanys. All are pedigree dogs, and they will have been used for hunting, breeding and showing. Several of the dogs have Champion titles and PAN certification (Prueba de Aptitudes Naturales (Natural Aptitudes Test), an official field evaluation that assesses a dog’s natural hunting instincts and is usually mandatory before a dog can claim a Champion show title. It ensures that dual purpose breeds still retain the working breed qualities. We know Poker, Roma, Tormenta, Xiloe, and Xirius have been shown, however the Brittany is a true dual purpose breed, so these dogs are just as likely to have been out hunting last weekend as in the show ring.
