  • Podenco Sparky – urgently needs an understanding forever home

    Sparky 1 2019 400
    An appeal for a special forever home for this young podenco who desperately now needs a patient loving forever home to continue his education that there are kind people in this world who can bring out what is probably a very loving character.

    From the team at Dog City Residentia. ‘Sparky. Podenco born in April 2015. We don’t know what this little one will have lived through or suffered before reaching us but what we do know living with him daily is that he is very elusive, distant, without wanting to have human contact… Just wants to be invisible, put his head underground and disappear. But we will not let him live like this, we will not allow him to miss the opportunity to enjoy a family life with the warmth of a home, we will fight to realize that the future could look wonderful tomorrow if you let us show you.

  • Portfolio of Podencos by Podenco Friends

    Bev podenco portfolio 400 12 2018
    Message from Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends. If you have adopted a podenco from her, or know someone who has, please give them this message.

    ‘I have been asked to submit a portfolio of photos about the Podencos to be considered with a view to be published in one of the top photography Magazines in Europe. With the help of a published professional photographer of this magazine we are preparing this over the next few days with a story line about the podencos. How I started taking photos and the emotional connection people have with them.

    So at the moment I am going through loads of photos trying to decide which represent the Podencos and for those who have adopted them. But it would be great to have some input from you guys and welcome any suggestions of a particular photo I have posted resonated with you and the reason why.

    This would be a amazing opportunity to get “the great forgotten” story out there to a massive audience and could lead to greater things. Lets do this !!!’

  • Podenca pup left for dead at the side of the road

    Salma 400 12 2018
    From Betty Morena on facebook.

    A few days ago we got the notice of a dog next to the highway crawling from its back legs. After hours of search we were able to find her. She’s barely 7-Months old, just a puppy that was run over a long time ago and has been without any kind of attention or food. We quickly took her to the clinic for our vet to examine. After doing different tests it has been possible to see that she has several injuries on the 2 legs that have healed badly. She has at the bottom of the femur a callused body due to a untreated breakage that will have to return to its natural place.

    She must be operated as soon as possible to make a femur rectification by shortening a piece to return the articulation to the vertical angle and return the kneecap to its natural site. Trying to increase the mobility of the joint and avoiding the advanced wear in the leg or short or long term which might result in amputation.

  • Christmas & New Year wishes from Podenco Post

    Bebe when are you coming crop 400 11 2017
    Bebe and myself wish all Podenco Post readers a peaceful and joyous Christmas and a healthy, happy and prosperous 2019. Thank you all for continuing to read the News and supporting the appeals to help need hounds.

    My adorable little Bebe is 16 years old now, slowing down a little but still bossing the galgo pack around! Below are a few pix we’re sharing with you, including one of the first ones I received when she was rescued with an injured hip from a road in Seville. Such a tiny skinny traumatised little podenca.

    There’s also one of her in her favourite spot in front of the fire with buddy Polar from Pepis Refuge and another with Bracken from Galgos del Sol. Also helping Polar, Carmela and Bracken clean up the barbeque!

  • Bev Farmer – remembering Warren

    Warren with puppy 400 12 2018
    From Bev Farmer.

    ‘Three weeks ago my life changed forever and it all feels surreal and I think that Warren has gone out and will be coming back and I miss him so much and so the dogs they keep looking at me for answers. He would have hated that he has left me with everything to sort out but thankfully he will never know for he died in his sleep. I never told him enough times I loved him or appreciated all the hard work he did but I loved taking photos of him with the dogs and it was my way of saying we are a team and I couldn’t do this without you.

    I hold on to the last day we spent together it was a lovely warm winters day in Spain and we spent most of the day out in the paddocks with the dogs . It was just one of those rare days that felt so relaxed and lots of laughter and in the evening he cooked me one of my favourite dinners, a quiet night in watching a film and surrounded by the dogs, just content in each others company, everything to look forward to and now that has all gone.

  • Meet the Breed – Ibizan Hounds in the US

    Meet the Breed IH 400 4
    ‘Meet and Greet’ has long been popular in the US to introduce people to the Galgo. Now we have ‘Meet the Breed’ for the podencos. Wonderful idea.

    ‘Three cheers for all the folks in Orlando, Florida in December who were part of the “Meet the Breed” booth, letting the public meet and learn about Podencos.

    Education is where it all starts!’
