    ALF[1] 190 Portuguese Podenco Aanifera July 2011 You recently read the tale of Sonia, an aged Podenga Portuguese who has been adopted in France to join other fellow pensioners with Betty.

    Look at this stunning boy! He is another Podengo Portuguese in the shelter in Aanifeira shelter in Portugal. Here is what Jackie, who works at the shelter, says.

    ‘Our shelter is located in the north of Portugal just 35 kms south of Porto and we have around 400 dogs in our care. We have a few podengos and in fact I thought I would attach a photo of one of ours called Alf.

  • Ibizan Hounds help dementia sufferers – on Ibiza

    Ibizan Hound Central PAT dogs 250 Here is a fascinating article about the Ibizan Hounds on the island of Ibiza, some of which are being used as PAT (Pets As Therapy) dogs. In England my greyhound Molly was a PAT dog and we used to have great fun visiting a retirement home – folks used to love to talk about dogs they had owned, and Molly really enjoyed birthdays when she got to share the cake!

    The article also explains the other activities which young Ibizan Hounds can be trained for – search and rescue, agility and so on. Podencos – whatever type – are not just for hunting or simply a companion dog. Since they are active working dogs, using them for PAT, agility and so on can enhance your ownership of one of these fantastic dogs.

    There is a list of associations on Podenco Post which specialise in rescuing and rehoming podencos – please give a thought to offering one a forever home.

    This is Reina, an Ibizan Podenca, probably no more than a year old. She appeared at Easter on the streets of Valencia. She has been rescued and is currently in a foster home. She is sweet and loving, submissive at the moment but with care and love, her character will emerge.
