Porenn is a joy to live with. A beautiful gentle hound who loves life and has gained lots of friends with her sweet undemanding nature.
She started her show career in October 2010 and has had many superb wins. At the Hound Show in 2011, she gained her Stud Book Number by winning the Reserve Bitch Challenge Certificate at just 16 months, and was only beaten by her mum, Bethra, who was Best Bitch. In 2013 Porenn became a Champion winning four Challenge Certificates in quick succession from breed specialists.
