  • Podenca Blanca in Jaen – looking for her forever home

    Blanca 111 2010 250 This beautiful podenca needs a forever home. This is her recent story.

    ‘Blanca is a beautiful 3-year podenquita which was adopted last week in Barcelona.
    Today is called the adopter and says he wants to return it because the dog follows her everywhere and is overwhelming. Blanca has been abused and needs a home to help her overcome her fears. We cannot let her return to our shelter in Jaén. We are saturated and there are fights every day. Some die when attacked by other dogs. Blanca does not deserve that after having experienced the warmth of a home.

    If anyone can help, write me abyda@live.com.

  • Crippled, abandoned, starved in Cadiz, podenco Nino needs foster and adopting home

    Nino Cadiz 2 04 04 2011 250 Some years ago I met a small galga who was rehabilitated by Paul and April Carrier of Alpha Dog School, Rota, Cadiz – sadly victims of the recession. This galga had been confined to a small cage during her puppyhood to such an extent that she had curvature of the spine, resulting in a skippy walk – hence her name of Skippy. She was unsurprisingly a happy little galga in spite of her maltreatment as a puppy.

    Here is another example of maltreatment, this time a little podenco. Here is the story of Nino, a small podenco found malnourished, abused and abandoned in Cadiz

  • Podencos – cruel treatment by the Spanish hunters

    Albacete podenca 1 2010 250 Podencos suffer severe maltreatment at the hands of the Spanish hunters – abandoned, starving, caught in snares, ends of their noses chopped off to make them look like a pig, chained through the mouth to a wall, stoned to death……………..some have even had 'shot' still inside them, where they have been hit as well as the rabbits!Here's a few examples.

    I make no apologies for posting all these pictures together, let's start off Podenco Post by showing some of the horrors perpetrated against these loving and affectionate dogs, some of whom found loving homes eventually, one who sadly did not, murdered at the hands of a 16 year-old thug.

  • Podenco Campanero – one of the big guys

    Campanero 8 podencoworld 250 The Ibizan Campanero is not recognized by the FCI.  Researchers in Spain see, based on scientific research, the Ibizan Campanero as a race.  Certainly it is a large variation Podenco Andaluz.

    The Ibizan Andaluz Podenco Campanero is one of large size with a shaggy white coat, he is seen by hunters as the jewel in the Ibizans because of his incomparable way of hunting.  The official standard of the large size pPdenco Andaluz states that the height to the withers for males is 54 to 65 inches and females 53 to 61 cm.  The Campanero has a smooth, compact construction, high intelligence, is noble, very sociable and always alert.

    Campanero 4 podencoworld 250 To achieve a Podenco with a heavier build (skeleton) for hunting larger game, it is believed that in the distant past a Podenco was crossed with a Mastiff and the result was a Podenco Campanero. It is a lively dog with a balanced character, very loving, submissive, loyal and faithful to his boss.  This podenco type has an excellent sense of smell, does not tire quickly, is able to quickly search and is not intimidated. It is mainly used for hunting deer and wild boar.

    “An ideal hunting companion, protector of the estate, a good companion in the solitude of the mountains, loyal to his last breath.”
