Everybody knows about the galgo problem, there are so
many orgs telling us about the problematic of the galgos, that a lot of people
now are adopting them , what is absolutely awesome but at this moment I want to
explain about other hunting dogs other sighthounds and these are the podencos,
the problematic of the podencos is quite similar to galgos, they are used for
hunting, honestly in our area we don’t have a lot of them so is not familiar
for me how they use these dogs, but what is familiar is how they kill them, the
ways how to kill a podenco are more or less the same like galgos, they are hanged
……..so in my humble point of view if we can feel sorry for galgos, we must feel
sorry for the podencos.
There are many kind of podencos, little by little I am
knowing more and more, but I need still a lot to learn, in my area the most
common are podenco Portuguese short hair or long hair , in fact we have plenty
of them, and of course all the crosses that you can imagine, they are adorable
at least some of them, the rough hair ones are a little bit noisy but nothing
serious, while I was walking among the kennels, I could see in one of the kennels
one of them and I really fell in love with her, she was jumping and trying to get
my attention and she got it, I am going to try to foster her until she gets
adopted, at this moment we are rescuing many podencos and I must say that I
feel really good doing it, before we were not rescuing so many , only because
they are difficult to rehome but it was something that was bothering me for a
long time, why galgos yes and podencos not if at the end the suffering is the
same so now I am lot more happy but we have a problem because they need homes,
but not only the podencos when we rescue them many times we rescue podenco
mixes so if pure are really difficult to rehome mixes are really impossible, or
maybe not as I am sure that inside your heart there is a space for them, mainly
now that we are rescuing many of them, there are many orgs for galgos but
podencos don’t have a chance. Will you be their chance?
Ibizan hounds are really rare here, magnetos are from
Andalucía and we are also getting some, so you have plenty of choices in Scooby
for choosing a podenco so please next time think about that carefully, they
also deserved a good home.
Kisses
