Canicross – ideal activity with your podenco
Two pix here of people in canicross events, with their podencos. It’s one of the activities I recommend in my book – you keep your podenco on a lead and it gets lots of exercise! Rob Elliot and Nacho, Scott and Ruby. Well done guys!

Gran Canaria – reality of life for podencos behind the sunshine and sangria
Gran Canaria – This black podenca was beaten to kill her and dumped in a trash bin. She was found, barely alive, rescued and taken to a vet. Karen, a Belgian podenco passionata who herself has a black podenca, has written this tribute to Emmi – who is bravely hanging onto life with enormous care from the vet team and volunteers.
Sweet Podenco girl,
Posting this picture on FB
could make people turn away
quickly scrolling past the horror done to you…
But then no one would ever know you
nor about your fight
and that of good people
for your precious Life. -
