  • When will they punish the right end of the lead?

    Debra Jefferson poem 400
    Although this poem is about a ‘dangerous’ breed, it could just as easily apply to any podenco in a perrera which has a kill policy, where the podencos are dumped by the hunter!

  • Podenco Friends’ podencos living with cats?

    More from Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends on Josephine the cat!

    ‘Lots of people ask if Podencos can live with cats. I never had a cat for obvious reasons and none of my Podencos were cat friendly.. But then came Josephine, I found her, a kitten about 6 months old by the rubbish bins .. It was close to Christmas no local cat rescues had space. I’m thinking this poor kitten is not safe with us but left with no choice introduced her to the 1O podencos one by one.
    I needn’t have worried she soon showed them who is boss and was welcomed into the family.
    I never imagined a cat could live with all our Podencos. Josephine proved me wrong.’

  • Difference between a Podenco and Galgo?

    Pod and galgo in play 400 10 2022
    What is the difference between a Galgo and a Podenco?
    A Real Life Story written by an unknown Author…

    “Besides the obvious, Humans often ask;
    What is the difference between a Galgo and a Podenco?

    I want to explain it by an example:

    A Trip to the Dog Park

    We Arrive;

    The Galgos are running like crazy.
    The Pods welcome every dog, man, tree, blade of grass with endless, constantly changing, body language and facial expressions.

    The First Five Minutes after Arrival;
    The galgos are running like crazy.
    The Pods dig up seventy small animals, they create mounds of undefinable mud, which sticks to everything it touches.

    This beautiful podenca is in the municipal shelter in Albergue, San Bartolome, Las Palmas, Canary Islands. Her main hope of a special forever home is on mainland Europe. Please consider offering her a forever home.

    ‘I know, I’m not like the others, I need to be more careful because I was born with a wrong leg and I need to fix it when I grow up and this is why… that I’m not like the others.

    But I have two ears…. two beautiful eyes and most of all a heart… just like the others … who can give you so much love and show you how grateful I would be to come into your life forever. I believe in you, and I wait for you. With love BONNIE.
