  • The Podenco – abused by the hunters – be a voice to help the Podencos

    Bev podencos 400 8 2020
    From Bev Farmer. The Podenco .. an intelligent and sensitive breed here Spain yet so many are subjected to a harsh and miserable life. Lack of good food and veterinary care leaves then under nourished and weak. So they find themselves abandoned left to survive on the streets or handed in to a perrera where the chances of been adopted are low.

    We have no actual stats to declare how many are abandoned every year but many believe it’s in the region of 50,000.

    One of the more difficult challenges is finding homes for them, these are a special breed that come with particular needs. But once you do have a podenco in your life, one will never be enough.

    How can every one help? spread the word get the message out there ….be the voice for the great forgotten

    Rosana Perez Palacios Milo 400 8 2020
    Milo is a stunning two-year-old amber brown podenquito, weighing 17 kilos, medium size, which in addition to being gorgeous is a puppy love. He’s got a look that makes you want to eat him kisses. He’s loving, very very noble, sociable with other puppies, of cats passes, and at home great.

    As a good podenco is ideal for company, to be quietly at home and at the same time can be an athlete who loves going out to the mountain, to the beach…

    It’s two years of his life he has spent them locked up in a cage, so far that is in foster with a family. It’s time for this spectacular podenquito to find that wonderful family. If you want to know more about him, see more photos and videos: 638.475.167, if not, please SHARE so he can soon be with his family.

  • Podencos Camilo and Eloy – en route to a forever home

    Polly Camilo and Eloy 400 8 2020
    Update from Polly Mathewson

    A happy update on our terrified shy podenco brothers CAMILO & ELOY. Our once “IN KENNELS & IN-VISIBLE” brothers are now progressing on their way in little steps towards their ultimate goal which is a loving forever home! They are now graduating to their next stage..

    You will remember their first step on from the large rural Spanish kennels (where they had become so invisible and overlooked for FIVE long years) was to our friends at Bedrock Kennels near Mijas. With our grateful thanks to Michelle and Alan and family at Bedrock the boys have already come on so much. They were so petrified when they arrived a month ago and with the happy, loving atmosphere there they are much more assured.

    Bev Tilly 400
    Tilly was Bev Farmer’s first podenco – from small beginnings come Podenco Friends and the hundreds of podencos Bev and her late partner Warren have rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed.

    ‘Tilly was such a naughty dog this came up in FB memories and made me smile thinking of what she did. Especially chewing the dials off the washing machine so we had no clue what cycle it was on and ended up having to buy a new one.

    Tilly Tea-Leaf syndrome – (Liberatio bonorum suorum) is a condition commonly known has the liberation of personal possessions. It was first officially named in 2003 after a Podenco called Tilly. This condition has been reported worldwide and effects all breeds of dogs, some more than others
