Von Hatten

Von Hatten is a breeder of Portuguese Podengo Pequenos in Grass Valley, California, in Nevada County near Sacramento. It has been breeding Portuguese Podengo Pequenos for over a decade, registering litters with the United Kennel Club and conducting regular hip and cardiac health screenings.

Puppies are raised in the home, socialized daily, and enjoy supervised playtime with the family’s other dogs. The program emphasizes preserving the breed’s natural agility while fostering a gentle temperament suited to family life. Recent puppy families note that regular photo updates and early exposure to children and other pets ease the transition home.

The kennel occupies a gently rolling half-acre yard with secure fencing and varied terrain that encourages safe exploration. Health records and pedigree charts accompany each puppy, and ongoing support is available for questions on nutrition or training. Shawn Brown welcomes inquiries about temperament and maintenance to ensure each match fits home and lifestyle.
