The latest VKC Dog to be released is the Portugese Water Dog. USA President Obama just got one for his family. Mr. Genosse decided to surprise us with a dog that had not been announced. The dogs were out on the beach at Dogland at 5 in the afternoon.  I saw the dogs onn the beach, and then I learned in chat that there was a new breed. I hustled to send all the VKC Open Chat members a notice. Before I could even hit the send button to send my group the advisory... the beach was full. Within 15 minutes of the dogs arrival, Vitolo Rossini had two beautiful "Portie" shirts made and distributed them to everyone on the beach. He showed me privately his Utube video, but told me it would not be set for public view until 2 hours after the dog was released. It was a fantastic video - check it out on utube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E9Y0lBW9bc&feature=channel_page

(My favorite is the Old English vid!) By 8pm, the signs at Dogland had been changed, to reflect the new breed's presence, and there was a Utube VKC "Portie" video playing at the dogland theater. The Landmark to Dogland reflected the new dog on its picture.. Everyone in Rhoda sported "Portie" shirts.
200 Porties found homes before the release day was out. Everyone there was impressed at the classy service provided by the Dogland Support staff, as each new dog owner got personal attention. Mr. Genosse made a couple of surprise appearances. Finally, my budget stretched to the limit.. I emptied my virtual wallet, and added to my canine family.
