Lovely video of podenco puppies with Podenco Friends Bev Farmer. She reckons it’s an alternative form of energy!
And another of Bev’s fabulous podenco hounds.
Do you remember the appeal for help for Chas and Dave, two podenco puppies rescued in Cadiz and needing foster and forever homes. We arranged for them to go to Bev Farmer in Murcia and here is a fabulous photo of them with her husband Warren. That’s the two boys, the tinies each side of the other podencos. Contact Bev if you can offer one of them a forever home.
This poor little soul was found in a rubbish bin. A man heard a groan, looked and there was this little podenco puppy – more dead than alive. Luckily he rushed it to a vet who immediately put it on CPR and a drip, surrounded it with plastic bottles filled with warm water…last report is that it is still alive.
Poor podenco – an outcast in Spain! He’s in the care of Spaanse Honden Nood Belgium
At the other end of the spectrum from the puppy, this 11 year old podenca was rescued injured from the middle of a motorway in Murcia! She has ben seen by a vet, has a problem on one of her front legs, and a problem in her mouth, which prevented her eating. She has been blood tested and is negative for diseases, but she is currently being kept in a garage and needs a foster home where she can recover for adoption.
She is very quiet and doesn’t have a problem with other dogs. Being an older lady, she spends a lot of time sleeping!

Bev Farmer lives in Spain and has a wealth of experience both as a podenco owner, a foster mom of podencos and also training podencos. Earlier this week, one of her podencos was the victim of a vicious unprovoked attack. Bev explains.
‘I have always questioned why its necessary to have a dangerous dog license in Spain. As a owner of dobermans for many years I am very comfortable with the bigger more powerful breeds of dogs. Now I know why a licence is necessary.
