Tila — a rescued Podenco and RFEC Agility Champion of Spain 2025.

I’ve followed Adrián Granda for several years watching his incredible journey with Tila. Once again, for the third time, she has won her group at the Spanish Championships.

Tila’s story began in the most humble of places. She was one of three tiny pups in a pet shop that helped local rescues find homes. At just 3 months old, Adrián adopted her… who could have imagined then, that this little Podenco would grow into a three-time agility champion?What has always struck me is the way Adrián writes about his dogs, with such passion, respect, and genuine love. It’s easy to understand why his dogs flourish. And this year he celebrates not just one champion, but two: Mente also won their group, giving him two Champions of Spain in 2025.

At 9 years old, Tila still competes with the same spark, energy, and joy as ever. She is living proof of the brilliance, intelligence, and heart that Podencos have when they are understood and given the chance to shine.

Thank you, Adrián, for showing the world just how extraordinary Podencos truly are.
