  • The Eye of the Devil?

    Henna Denzil eyeA beautiful, sometimes sad, heart-warming story of podenco adoption from Hennie.

    ‘Actually it’s the eye of Denzel, my ‘beloved’ dog.

    He can frighten people very much and half the population of our village walks on the other side of the street when they see Denzel coming. A lot of them ends with their face on the street when they pass by with their bicycle. They blame me for it but after years of hard working, on a friendly and sometimes a little less friendly way, Denzel doesn’t change.

    He was found as a puppy in Spain dumped in a dust container together with his brother.

  • Carina, a podenca with Podenco Friends, Murcia – adopt Carina

    When I was with Bev and Warren of Podenco Friends last September 2013, although I loved all the podencos, Carina won a special place in my heart. I really wanted to bring her home to me forever, but with 4 galgos and a very bossy little podenca, I really couldn’t afford to take on another dog – vet fees, feed, tick treatment …you know how it goes, especially on small pensions.

    so let me introduce you to the absolutely adorable Carina, a beautiful video. There must be someone who has a place in their home and heart for this gorgeous podenca. Contact Bev if you can help Carina.

    The Motril Posse of podencos! From Irene Allen in Spain.

    This video was made possible by Xari Shepherd….who highlighted the plight of these Podenco pups in Motril… only 4 of the original 6 pups could be caught and rescued… the mother and two other pups like many Podencos in Spain have little or no chance of experiencing the Motril Posses’ future of living in a loving home environment… Beverley Podencos introduced us to our first Podenco called Inca …..and we found out at first hand how amazing this breed can be in a home environment.

  • Podencos – A national treasure or just trash?

    Bev Podencos give them a future 250Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends writes.

    What is about Podencos that incite such passion for them….. for me I see beauty nobility intelligence a creature so unique and magical, those who have adopted one will understand how special and sensitive they are. These should be the national treasure of Spain to be held in reverence to be proud of…. such a truly magnificent creature they should be recognized has part of the national heritage of Spain for they date back to 3000 BC. Yet daily we receive more and reports of Podencos abused, abandoned handed in to Perreras.
