PODENCO PATERNINO of Huelva Province – Edy for adoption
Edy – a special and unusual black and white podenco boy who longs to be loved, but is still so shy and nervy and would need a very gentle patient family to build his confidence. Edy was in the kill pound in Valencia and saved by volunteers, he is safe in a kind kennels in Spain but he has got quite stuck and as he only knows rural kennels (for far too long) is very scared of anyone or anything new. But he is the most handsome gentle boy and would become your most wonderful friend. Will you show Edy that he is NOT invisible and that he too can have a loving family of his own, a sofa, soft bed and fabulous walks. Please contact pollymathewson@hotmail.com

Peaceful Protest Sunday 1st May 2016 – in London, Manchester and Glasgow
How did it come about? I’ve been publicising the plight of the podenco since I became involved with their rescue, fostering and rehoming back in 2007, along with galgos. In those days most people hadn’t heard of podencos, outside of their rescuers in Spain and those living there with the problem of abandoned ones. In 2009 Ed Verhaegan created Podencoworld, a leading podenco rescue and rehoming association in Holland. But still publicity was mostly about galgos, always the galgos! Yet the podencos suffer just as much maltreatment.
It wasn’t until about 3 years ago that there was an explosion of interest through facebook and now these fantastic hounds are getting the help they deserve, as far as is humanly possible, bearing in mind the over-breeding and mass abandonment the cazadores and podenqueros continue to practice.

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!
