Hope you can see this video, from facebook. These are 2 rescued podencos adopted through Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends, doing bikejoring. It’s more than just a case of getting on a bike and tying them in front, they need to be trained to run ahead, as with canicross.

Update on Podenco Spirit, with Refugio Candela
Update 2 4 2019‘We are with Spirit in Lepanto Veterinary Center, Veterinary Traumatology
For weeks we have observed that the mucosal tissues that covered the prosthesis implanted at Valencia Sur Veterinary Hospital were retracting, leaving the irons more and more visible. This situation is quite uncomfortable for him: so we have to look for an immediate solution.
Both veterinary teams are in contact and we all have our eyes, ears and hearts wide open.
We are going to look for the best solution for him: above all so that he does not lose his quality of life, so that he does not have to go back to eating pureed food… so that he can continue to be a happy dog.
Wish us all the luck that this blonde with honey eyes deserves …’

Axarquia Animal Rescue – podenco for adoption
Hey there! I’m Minnie the Pod!I’m a cool and street wise little girl as me and my bestie Scooby were on the streets until some nice people came to catch us. Well it took them some time, because we didn’t know that nice people exist you see, so we ran away from them…
My pal Scooby was taken to safety first and then the next day they came to find me too, can you imagine the happiness when we were reunited in this wonderful kennel of happy dogs. Now we are getting love, care and good food.
Soon I’m going to be healed and I have started dreaming of a real home and family… Someone who would love me forever like I would… Never again throw me on the street.
Are you there somewhere? Please look me up at AAR and ask Marja who is taking care of my adoption.

How to train your dog off-leash
Many people can walk their galgos and podencos off leash. Unfortunately mine have strong hunting instincts and as we live on a farm with meadows full of birds, hares, feral cats and the neighbouring ones have sheep in, we can never walk ours off leash.

PACMA demand hunting in Castille y Leon be stopped
From the CREL newsletter of March 13, 2019The Spanish animalist party (PACMA) claims the protection of wildlife and takes legal action.
The Hunting Act in Castilla y León (Spain) will be amended to “paralyze any hunting activity until further notice”. All this at the request of PACMA (Party of Animalists Against Animal Abuse).
Laura Duarte, spokesperson of the Spanish animalist party, argued that the regulation in question does not comply with the European directive “habitat fauna flora”, which applies to all species. Therefore, “if it is not consistent, this paralysis should continue”.

Should you soak dog croquettes?
I have lived with dogs all my life – when I was born our family dog was already 1 year old! As far as I can remember, we have always put a small amount of gravy or stock on our dogs’ meals. My elderly galga Carmela now has problems crunching large croquettes so she is on the ones for small dogs which she manages no problem. However, I must admit I am not keen on the idea of soaking croquettes for hours.
Here’s another interesting article from the Whole Dog Journal on the subject.
