    Innovative dog rescue project

    Not been updating the thread as we've been so busy with things down here (100 dogs sent on their way to their glorious new futures in the last 10 days alone;)) but I did find time to knock together a synopsis of our first month back after the summer hiatus for guests...

    Innovative dog rescue project

    A few more from the last few weeks here and a couple of successful re-homings, too. First up, my new girl getting accustomed to the non-street life. She's taken to the bed no problem! Had an hour to kill while my wife was teaching a class in a nearby village and this wee lass comes sauntering...

    Hey, thanks a lot! Much appreciated as I'm not part of any dog communities online. Also finding my way around FB is a bit tricky but I'm getting there.

    Innovative dog rescue project

    So we're living in a rural part of Andalusia, Spain, where we volunteer at a rescue centre. The problem is that there is only one other volunteer and a couple of council workers; not nearly enough people to keep on top of things as we have up to 125 dogs at any one time. Having said that we...

    All podencos' (and mixes') topic

    My boy shows a lot of terrier (Bodeguero) traits. Nervous wreck lol, drives me mad sometimes. I'm surrounded by many Podencos but none of them are pets, just chained up and taken out x 3 a week in hunting season so it's really hard to talk about typical behaviours because they're just hunting...

    My Bullterrier stretching his legs

    Don't worry, nobody ever wants to talk about Randhir; everyone wants to talk about my bull breeds or my big handsome Malamute. Randhir passes under everyone's radar:( I'll try and get a pic thread up of the little tinker;)

    My Bullterrier stretching his legs

    Our dream is to have a big place here where we can add to our current 5. Lots of Podencos and Galgos will probably be the order of the day as there are so many of them needing rescuing. Natasha's a beauty, by the way! ETA My partner's dad doesn't know:lol-sign:but her mom finds it very funny.

    My Bullterrier stretching his legs

    My little fella is called Randhir (pronounced Runty), in honour of my Indian partner's dad:lol-sign:who is none too pleased his daughter is with a white man, so he now has a canine namesake! Lots of Podencos are just discarded in the mountains where my vid was filmed, just left there by...

    My Bullterrier stretching his legs

    Cheers both of you! I've got to come clean and confess he was being held back so he wouldn't catch me. Barb04-My hamstrings are still complaining a week after the run! Tashapaws-Yeah, "A sunday stroll" was a funny title for it, I thought:) Do you know what your Podenco mix is crossed with...
