  • 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.

  • Little Pod Foundation – trying to save 40 more podencos

    You will all be horrified and sickened by this news which has come in from the Little Pod Foundation in Murcia.

    This is the original message. ‘Calling ALL Podenco Lovers!! We have just received emails about 40 Podencos living in terrible conditions in Benissa. The majority are females being used for breeding. In the video clips (haven’t a link to it yet) you can see their dirty drinking water is out of reach, there is no food and they are all on short chains. You can see two already have severe inuries to their back legs and Seprona have already been called in and will going back in a couple of days. This situation is Urgent and these dogs need help!!! Please contact us if you can help in any way, thank you’

    Further investigation has revealed the appalling news that the owner of these dogs is an officer of the law, and refuses to give them up!

  • Podenco dead on his feet – safe with Little Pod Foundation – seeking forever?

    Alfred 1 250This is Alfred he was found collapsed in the blazing sun in a remote area of the campo on Friday the 25th May. He was one lucky Podenco found by Manuela and her friends out cycling. He was so exhausted that he couldn’t even raise his head to drink some water. Thankfully they picked him up and took him to a local vet who then contacted Little Pod Foundation.

    On Friday we were very concerned, not only was he covered in ticks and fleas, his pads were ripped to shreds and very swollen, but most worrying he was unable to stand up.

    Amazingly 72 hours later we see a different dog, what a recovery Alfred has made. He is negative for Leishmania, filaria and ehrlichia, has his passport and is ready to travel.

He is negative for Leishmania, filaria and elerichia and we hope he doesn’t have any long term health problems because of his neglect.

  • Dumped on a Spanish street, podenco puppy now winning prizes

    Jazzy pup 1 250 Bev 4 3012This gorgeous little podenco puppy was thrown from a car onto the street. Luckily uninjured, she was rescued and is now in the safe hands of Bev Farmer, who is earning a well-deserved reputation for training podencos to prepare them for finding forever homes. Here’s the story of Jazzy so far.

    ‘Another post on Facebook, another Podenco dumped, this time thrown out of a car without any consideration what would happen to this puppy. At 7am Michelle heard a car racing off and a dog screaming. Her first thought was that a dog had been seriously hurt. She rushed out of her house to see a puppy on the street shaking in fear and covered in oil. Her front claws were ripped, a classic sign of having been dragged along by a car.
