The Portuguese Podengo Club of America  (PPCA) held its 2nd Annual National Specialty at the ARBA Cherry Blossom Classic in April 24th –25th , 2004 at Washington, DC, and it was an outstanding success. This is the biggest rare breed dog show in the USA from the American Rare Breed Association and it was wonderful to have a substantial presence of Podengos. Sixteen Podengos were shown — double the number that participated last year — with both hair types and pequeno and medio represented. Most importantly, we were honored to have Vitor Veiga, President of Clube do Podengo Português, as Judge for the event.
All of the PPCA members present really enjoyed the weekend.  Vitor Veiga  do an information session after the show about the relative qualities of USA dogs. 
On Saturday night, in the true Podengo family spirit, the participants went out to dinner.
Below there is a list of the dogs (plus their owners and breeders) that attended and the results of all 4 shows held over the two days.
