  • Chiquita podenca, Merida, Badajoz, Extremadura, Spain…not a good address for hunting dogs

    Bev 3 pups 1 250 21 7 2015This is an appeal from Carolina Climent, in Badajoz, which is a very bad place for hunting dogs. Here’s her appeal.

    ‘I have at home a little family looking for good homes. All of them are looking for their families for ever. I rescued the Podenca Mom as she was abandoned in my village. Chiquita had just given birth under a rock, they are the mother and 4 pups, 3 males, 1 female.

    Chiquita is a podenco and the pups mix of Breton and Podenco. The pups are 1 month and 14 days now and I need your help to spread the word to find them a place to be. I have been looking after them all this time and they are ready to go. I would travel a fair distance in order to introduce one of them to the adopter.

    We are in Badajoz, in a village close to Mérida. Please do not hesitate to contact me for details. Thank you very much.’

  • Signs of Leishmania in dogs

    If you recognise any of these symptoms in your dog, please take it to the vet to be tested for leishmania. I always recommend that, even if your Spanish hound has tested negative for the disease, you should have it retested every year.

  • Owning a dog in Switzerland

    Information from a reader who lives in Switzerland, about the regulations for owning and keeping a dog.

    In Switzerland: Dog owners have to pay a yearly fee for each dog, depending on weight. In addition he must attend a dog school to learn handle his dog, and do that with each dog he owns. This is all registered at the City hall (ayuntamiento).

    This could be a way towards a solution everywhere in the future.
