  • Podencos make marvellous agility dogs – a good reason to adopt one!

    Podencos are totally different characters from galgos – who like nothing better than to curl up on a comfy sofa and sleep! Podencos are working dogs and therefore can make marvellous agility dogs. Here are some videos of podencos in agility, and also a Pharoah Hound, a similar breed.
