Send healing thoughts to Bev Farmer and Podenco Pinto
From Bev.‘its not good news for Pinto
The scan revealed two masses one is the lymph node and a second much bigger one which is not regular in shape. They took biopsies to be sent to the labs so we wait to hear, but we think the worse, that it is cancer. The scan showed the bigger mass is maybe attached to the main artery so it would not possible to operate and would need to a MRI to confirm this.
This morning my vets were surprised to hear Pinto is 14 years old. They thought he was a lot younger and commented what wonderful condition he is in he was alert and bright, his heart and lungs strong. For the moment they have sent him home with medication until we get the lab results they can do no more.

Meet blind podenco Bocelli – new member of our family
Last week I introduced you to our new family member Podenca Andaluz Rosely. This week blind Podenco Bocelli has joined our family. We’ve both lived with dogs all our lives but for both of us, a blind dog is a new experience. He was apparently rescued from life on a chain in a horrible place in Lorca, southern Spain. It’s not a good area for Spanish hounds. Here’s a bit about his character.Meet handsome Bo. He is as good as blind, weights approx 25kg and is 7 years old (as of July 2021). Bo wants to lay in his bed all day until it’s dinner time then suddenly he’s bouncing around and barking like a 6 month old puppy. His energy level is generally fairly low but he loves to potter around outside. At mealtimes he gets excited. He is good with other dogs.

Cuidad Animal Refugio Animales – lots of podencos needing forever homes
Ciudad Animal Refugio Animales AbandonadosWONDERFUL POWER
El Podenco is the typical dog we usually see from the highway wandering around the field, which is confused with a galgo. The one who lives locked in a junction for years, the one who belongs to a rehala.
That hound dog no one wants.
Podenco means light feet.
Its stylized figure, its agility on any ground, its incomparable tracker, its visual and audible sharpness, its ability to adapt to any temperature. All of this has made from the podenco an essential “tool” for hunters.
The podenco has always been used for hunting, throughout its history.
But let us talk about the other side, not the one we are used to seeing, but the other, the good one.
