  • Podenca Andaluz, Murcia – slashed down the back!

    Bev Pod back scars 250 11 2012You may remember Lucia, a Podenca Andaluz whose back had been sliced from shoulder to tail and left to heal on its own. this little podenco is similar in looks and size and not far from the same area where Lucia was abandoned. Bev Farmer reports.

    ‘I had a call from a golf course about a podenco that had been there for a couple of months.

    We went to try and catch her, nearly caught her 3 times but it was not to be and after 8 hours and night time we called it a day. Tried again the following day but she had learnt that if she follows the golf carts, the players feed her, so she leads us a merry dance so no joy. Have left strict instruction they are not to feed her and we will try again tomorrow.

  • Podenco Inca in Murcia rescued – but another in Hellin perrera due to die on 28 Sept!

    Inca 1 - Bev 9 2012 250
    This is Inca, and Bev Farmer tells his story.

    ‘We were alerted that a Podenco was in a perrera so arranged to go collect him. On arrival one of the staff just got him out of the kennel and told us to go now and return in a couple of hours and complete the paper work. We bundled him into the car and drove off with no idea what was going on. On returning they told us a gypsy had reserved him the day before and was on his way to take him, so if we had been 15 minutes later, it could have been a very different story for Inca.

  • Podenca Jazzy – victim of a vicious attack

    Bev Jazzy wounds 250 8 2012Bev 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.

  • Podenco saved from a ravine in Murcia – Galgos del Sol to the rescue

    Ravine pod 1 250 GdS 7 2012A year or so back I published a story about a galgo rescued from a ravine by Baas Galgo. This time it’s a podenco stuck down a deep ravine, rescued by Galgos del Sol with the help of a local fireman. Judging from the skeletal condition of the poor hound, he’d been down there a while. Sometimes the dogs fall down these ravines when hunting, but at this time of year…no hunting…looks like his journey there was a different story. Now he’s safe, very tired, recovering with GdS. The fireman named him Moses. Here are the photos of his rescue.
