This is our mom, Samba. She was a super good mother and took great care of us when we were little. Look how well we all turned out.
This is our Grandma, Reia. She's Samba's mom and she was born in Portugal. Samba looks just like her. This is the only picture we have of her. Samba's whole family is from Portugal and there aren't many pictures available of her ancestors. They were working dogs that helped the fishermen on their boats.
The only other one of Samba's ancestors who has a picture is Margarida Do Zoo De Lisboa. She was saved during the revolution in 1974 and she and her mate Makuti spent the rest of their lives in the Lisbon Zoo. They were the only two remaining PWDs left in Portugal after the revolution. There were 25 other dogs that had been sent out of the country. Margarida shows up several times in our pedigrees on both Samba's and Fudge's family trees.
We have lots more pictures on our Dad's side of the family. This is Fudge's Mom, Del Syr's Mandalay Bay (Mandy).
Then we have lots of Great Grandmothers. Here are some of them. This is Del Sur's Makin Front Page News (Page).

How wonderful to have pictures of your ancestors. Alas, we have no pictures of any of ours. Hope you had a lovely Mother's Day.
XXXOOO Daisy, Kendra & Bella
Wow! Wonderful family history. How fun that you have names and photos of so many of your pups fore-bearers. Happy Mother's Day to both you and Samba.
What beautiful ladies!
Happy mother's day, Samba - to you and to your hooman mom!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
What a lovely post!! How great that you have so many photos from your pups' heritage. I know about Sissy's parents and grands, and Gretchen's is well-documented for several generations, but once the Irish relations show up, the photos stop.
Happy Mother's Day to their human mom too.
Wow! A most impressive family tree. Hey! Some of your mom dogs have shaved bottoms. I suppose that is fashionable, huh.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Moms out there!!
