This is not about a podenco, but it could very well be. It is about Seville perrera and a little innocent soul in there, on death row, due to die. Levriers sans Frontieres works with Fundacion Benjamin Mehnert to save these dogs. This is her story.

Training a Podenco – superb Obedience and Agility Dogs
I can’t emphasise enough what fabulous hounds podencos are; marvellous companion dogs and, if you get a young one, easy to train and marvellous agility dogs (they are very popular in agility competitions in Germany especially). Bev Farmer fosters podencos and works hard on training them for forever homes. Here’s a great video which illustrates just how well podencos respond to training.
Bev was one of the many volunteers who went to Bullas on Operation Rehala at the beginning of 2012 and here is what she says.

Blind podencos in Seville – latest update – looking for forever homes
Do you remember the appeal by Macu for help to pay for operations to restore the sight in the eyes of two podencos she had rescued from a galguero camp? Thanks to help from many people, the two dogs have both been operated on and here you can see a video of them enjoying life. Remember Atila, the young 2-year-old, had to hold his head at a peculiar angle to try and see – now he can look forward to a full life seeing everything! Both podencos are now looking for forever homes. If you would like to apply, please contact Carmina (English speaker) or Macu.
