The truth about podenco breeders in Spain & Eastern Europe
From Cobie Steketee at Scooby Residencia Valladolid.
Thinking of all the agony and suffering podencos go through in Spain and that it takes more time for them to find a forever family, the first picture makes me so angry! She is from a breeder from podencos somewhere in Eastern Europe, I think. The second picture below is from a breeder in Spain. These are just as nice with a matching carpet, couch, table and walls but they don´t have that, they live on cement without carpet or sofa…no hugs for them neither good food, just old bread and a life of misery.
Maybe you have to work in rescue to understand and see how they come in, scared, nervous, skeletons, hungry, awful wounds, abused, beaten etc. and you want so bad to find them a loving family. But the breeders’ dogs don´t know that kind of agony, no, they live a life of luxury because her dogs will have pups like her brothers and sisters and their offspring also and will be sold for a lot of blood money.
