I can trust the independance of my podenco rescue. As long as there is no danger in the form of traffic, she'll be fine. She is smart enough and her attitute (curious, friendly, brave but cautious) and lacking interest in strangers (excluding dogs and little children) make her a good companion for my life including my work. She was born deaf, so i can even visit smaller outdoor concerts while she does her thing, which is hunting rats for the most part. Worst case scenarios so far were two angry but healthy rats that she brought me and some hours of searching your deaf podenco in his freshly dug up hole somewhere near.
I have a Podenco Oreto x hunter rescue he is also a tripod so he's a pod pod :) he is a wonderful character and been with us for four years, loving, gentle, playful, confident and funny, and his recall has improved a lot, lol. I'm still very aware of where we are when he's of the lead as he will chase and on one occasion caught a squirrel (it was to late for the squirrel :( it was departed swiftly) even with just the 3 legs, I but him back on the lead, told him although it was very clever we didn't eat squirrel, stuck it back up in a tree out of reach and continued on our walk, he hasn't done it again. I'm expecting another Pod in a couple of weeks, we will be her foster family until she finds her forever home, sadly another x hunters dog. Thank you for sharing the plight of the Podenco, it's estimated at 60000 to 80000 are disposed of each year, this must stop ☹
We got a Podenco puppy from Spain. Her mom was a rescue dog and was a purebred Podenco Andaluz, that was abused for breeding purposes. At the time of rescue, she was pregnant with a litter and we were lucky to get her out of there. We brought her into a home of 3 cats and where afraid, that she wouldn't fit into here. Ironically two of our cats stood up to the rowdy puppy and she turned submissive and protective towards our 3 cats specifically, though other cats were never welcome. She's thickheaded, food-driven and squeaks like a true podenco a lot. She's starting to age no, making it towards her 14th year with us. She's calm inside, active outside. Essentially, we were lucky to find the perfect dog for this German family in the most Spanish dog in existence.
I have a small wirehaired podengo. We adopted her from a shelter and was told she was a terrier. She is the funnest, most playful and loving dog we have had. So full of energy and life. She has helped our other rescue who was abused come out of her shell. The two of them play all day and have bonded as sisters. I highly recommend this dog IF you are willing to support thier energy level and keep them engaged.
I got to know a podenco who lived where I rented my first room when coming to Spain. He was the most wonderful, kind-hearted dog I ever met in my life. And they are so beautiful. I can't understand why they are not valued more here in Spain..?!? I am looking for a dog now and of course I will find a podenco from a shelter. It might not change the world but for that dog it will change his or her life.. I can't wait until I find my forever companion.
We got a rescue podenco cross, he now lives in Scotland, he loves his walks and is very sociable and great nature. He can be stubborn and doesn’t like horses but he’s a big part of our family
I have two rescue Podencos, one cheeky Andaluz & a gentle, yet clownish Ibicenco. If you are watching this thinking of getting one, DO IT, they are amazing creatures just as happy being lazy in the house as they are going on an adventure. Of course they have their quirks and generally cannot be taken off the lead easily but after saving one, we will ALWAYS give the wonderful dogs a home.
Thank you for this video. We adopted a beautiful podengo and he’s become a beloved family member. He loves going to the parks and running around the yard. We tried a dog park off leash and it was quite a challenge to get him to come back but he loved it and had a wonderful time. And he’s smart as a whip! Your video is very informative, thank you.
It's missing there the Portuguese insular Podengo, the "Podengo de Porto Santo", and the related Portuguese breed "Cão do Barrocal Algarvio". Podengo is not proven to be a Spanish word since it's origins might be Portuguese. Some scholars defend that "Podengo" comes from the vulgar latin "Pota" (paw) + the Germanic sufix "-engo", forming Podengo/Podenco in Portugal and Spain, being found in archaic Portuguese one of the first uses of the word regarding the name of a particular dog breed, the "Podengo-de-água". Podengo was also what, at least in Portugal, was called to every breed of hunting dogs. The Portuguese Pointer (Perdigueiro Português) was once called "Podengo-de-mostra" and the current "Portuguese Podengo" was once designated "Sabujo" (hound). Nowadays, "Sabujo Português" is still an alternative name to "Podengo Português".
Thanks for info. I will definitely check out the Podengo do Porto Santo, never heard of it. I should have include the Cao do Barrocal Algarvio, i forgot about that one. But i made a separate video about this breed, if you are interested, you can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/xtjnznFnUY8/v-deo.htmlsi=LEqOZlNyH0Qz7JfV
I have a podengo portugués mediun, she was founded abanded with sibilins and mum they, have different colors, about one month, our kiki is black with white, but funny the only one in the group, she is so fast, really energétic dog, and also the swites i ever met.
My podenco is a cross with a German shepherd long golden soft hair with bit black hair tips along tail and ears he was a rescue dog he is very loving and protective still acts like a puppy bouncing about and he is 10 years old now.
I only know 2 types: Rescued and still to be rescued. I've got a couple of Andalusian podencos recued grom Spain and living tne good life here in Scotland. Absolutely adorable dogs with tons of personality. My 2 tend to be a bit of a flight risk at times. Thanks for the video.👍
I have a dog that is short and wire-haired with ears that flop over. Neighbors rescued her from the shelter. She is gold and white with gold eyes. I think she is a Portuguese Podenco. She looks exactly like the short wire-haired dog you showed. She is very affectionate and wants to be with me always. She is super smart and easy to train. And she can run like the wind! I think she would make a great agility or rally dog! My neighbor is elderly and she is in memory care so I have her two dogs and they love to visit her.
We, in Holland, had a Podengo Maneto for 11 years. Via adoption. Autonome, selfconfident, strong build, strong spirit. Loving and affectionate. In our opinion a "world-dog".
My parents have a triple rescued podenco maneto, Pablo. He was recued by someone well meaning who got overwhelmed with 27 other dogs, because he got abused by his original owner. The second rescue rehabilitated him from his broken back and bad coat back to health, and now he's with my parents and their dachshund. He lives the life of a king with enough excercise, treats and love.
We have three Portuguese Podengo Pequeños. Head strong. Food and prey driven. Alert. Pack oriented. Yet, they're in tune with the family. They know and feel our moods. They are fiercely protective. They get along with kids and other dogs, but once they sense danger or harm from others, they will guard and protect. We're incredibly grateful that we're guardians and care takers of these three Pequeños.
I am getting my rescue podenco on 17th June. I lived in Portugal where they are "Podengos". I just saw Jazz training a podenco to do all sorts of tricks.. you CAN train them
You can definitely train them, but they are not the easiest breed to train. BUt personally i love Podencos, love their personality. You are great for rescuing.
I rescued a Podenco, “Blanco”, through SOS Podenco rescue. Blanco had a tough start of life as a hunting dog, apparently he didn’t perform well. I was shocked to learn that they have dog killing stations in Spain. Luckily for Blanco, his hunter surrendered him. This breed has a very high energy endurance, run, run run & then some more ! No couch potato. Blanco has a wonderful life now. 😊
We have a Podengo mix (maybe Belgian shepherd) which we found as a pup in Portugal, she is now about 3 years old. She loves us and always wants to be with us, we trained her and she listens 9 out of 10 times, but towards strangers she is difficult. She will always bark at any stranger that comes to our place and if we are alone for awhile in a public places a strangers will also get barked at. Plus she sometimes goes to the stranger and gets behind them while backing, understandable, a lot of people find this intimidating. Any tips to make her easier for strangers are welcome.

I just adopted a Portugese Podengo Grande. She was abandoned in a forest with several other Podengos in Portugal and thanks to Bring Portugese Podengos To Light they were rescued. She was flown over to the USA with other Podengos and now I have her. Yes they are abused and treated like trash over in Portugal. Don’t shop ADOPT
We adopted a 6 months old Podengo Ibicenco, maybe... i'm not sure. Your vídeo helped me to figure out a little more about him. He is very playful, curious and loving dog. We are trying to guide his energy cause he bites a lot when he is excited. My son is afraid of his behavior but i hope The Best, cause he is family now. Less than 1 week with us and he runned away, he was found less than a 1 km from home, after more than 12 hours later, at somebody's backyard coldy and scared. That was so heartbroking for us, now i'm a little ansious to go outside with him. If anybody has some tips for bites and scapes, i appreciate.
These dogs have natural tendencies to run and chase things, it is normal for them. Did he ran away on your walk or did he ran away from your yard? I would use long leash until you make sure he will understand the recall command perfectly. Podencos have natural tendencies to chase things and it is pretty hard to teach them the recall when they start the chase. Many people only let them off leash in fenced areas and they use very long leash on the rest of the walk.
@@Rocadog thank you for the information. He ran away when we were in our street, trying to teaching him to walk on leash. He runned away even i calling him back. I think he didn't reconized his name yet. We have a big backyard and he has free acess. He sniff around all the time, nibbling some woods, plants and all he finds. Haha... I'm happy to have him and try to do my best. 💌
We have a rescue podenco as well (i think!) and it seems to me its very important to teach them ot calm down more. She was very hyper when we got her, but now she is usually very chill around the house. What helped us is actually doing less with her - less crazy play, less exciting walks, less meeting people and dogs and playing with dogs etc. Less is more sometimes, maybe this helps!
I own the third small Podenco now in Switzerland. They are like cats. The character is unusual..only for People who like a intelligent affectonate..but not easy to train dog. In Switzerland there are several organisations to take rescue Podencos. But sometimes the Information is not sufficient and then unfortunately the character is not understod and the the dogs are again in a shelter.
I have a cirneco dell etna and love her dearly. I live in Spain. She is a rescue dog. She’s scared of people and loud noises. It’s difficult taking her out even to relieve herself. She trembles with anxiety. Once she is out she settles down. I use a small dog stroller to take her to the beach where there are fewer people. I’ve had her for almost 3 months. I hope she can get over this fear. She finds it hard to feel safe. Here in my apartment she is happy. Has anyone else this problem and what can I do for her?
You are great for rescuing! It is hard to help about the fear of strangers and loud noises, as we do not know the cause of these problems. I guess it must be something from her past, she was either not socialized at all or she had some very bad experience with people. A dog's fear of strangers should be managed very carefully. If she is not agressive towards strangers, you can try to "push" her to interact with your friends for example. When i say push, i dont mean to literally push her, keep it friendly and relaxed. Just take her to see some of your friend and let her to meet them at her own pace. When she will see there is no danger from your friend, she should became friendly with him/her.. When she will overcome the fear with one person, try another. I do not know how big the fear is, but you can also try to go to some area with more people. You dont need to walk with her, just sit there and let her observe the people. When she will be ready to walk, than walk. Do not force your fearful dog to meet people or accept them, but give them opportunity to do it and give them opportunity to see, that other people are not a reason to be afraid.
Thank you for highlighting the problem with the dog abuse by hunters In Spain, sadly it's true and happens a lot, I'm sure it happens in Portugal as well but not so much I hope. Podengos are great dogs and deserve a great life like all animals.
Great shout out for such an abused breed, my friend. This is a dog that should be more popular here in Britain. Probably they haven't got the " glamour " other breeds have, no doubt. It's time their lot improved. Once again, I was educated. I wish you rainbows.
I have a Podenco from Portugal, but I couldn't say for sure wich breed it was with these pictures. He is medium sieze with short hair, but unlike most of these his ears hang down with no oppertunity for him to get them as straight up as all these dogs have. Might be possible he isn't a full podenco, but if anyone knows a Podenco type with these traits I would love to know it.
My podenco kids are highly intelligent, they know everything we speak 😮. If I say , okay I will give their favourite food they will obey😅. Otherwise very naughty 😂and active . It is very difficult to handle... But they are my life. ❤❤❤.
As Brooklyn said, it is individual. Some hunters value their dogs highly and they treat them well. But Galgos and Podencos are one of the most abused dogs in Europe for sure.
They re usually treated as tools.... some may have about 10 to 20 dogs and will take them to hunt in dog crates which you usually see in the motorways 4x4s withe the crates at the back with about 10 dogs squashed inside.. once hunting season is over the old or frail are usually disposed off .. via killing, hanging or just left to die... my Podenco Adaluz was found in a dustbin inside a plastic bag with her sisters... he must have been a month old.. happily he is 5 year old now and the best dog ive eve had..
Eu tenho um Podengo Português médio puro com pêlo de arame. Ele é lindo!! ruivo com algumas manchas brancas e de olhos verdes, nariz cor de Rosa. Ele é muito activo, adora correr e ladrar. Ele é um Caçador instintivo, ele é também instintivamente um cão de guarda e de defesa.Ele Gosta muito do convívio com outros cães quando amigáveis. Se eu chegar perto dele e do outro cão ele ataca ou finge atacar o outro o cão. É muito possessivo comigo. Ele gosta de brincar com a família. Ele é muito mimado e gosta de acompanhar a família no carro ou em grandes caminhadas.
I really like it thanks a lot. But please, why do you sound like a Indian call Center agent? 😅😆😃When I saw you I was quite shocked- no bad feelings pls ✌🏼 Great work
Do you own a Podenco? What do you like the most about them?

I have a Podenco from Portugal, but I couldn't say for sure wich breed it was with these pictures. He is medium sieze with short hair, but unlike most of these his ears hang down with no oppertunity for him to get them as straight up as all these dogs have. Might be possible he isn't a full podenco, but if anyone knows a Podenco type with these traits I would love to know it.
i know a podenco mix like you have, i think. look at my channel the videos from and with 'cooper' 👍
he is my best friend, i love him.
I wonder if crossbreeding Podenco and Doberman would cause erect ears in the Doberman? Can someone say something about it, does anyone know?
My podenco kids are highly intelligent, they know everything we speak 😮. If I say , okay I will give their favourite food they will obey😅. Otherwise very naughty 😂and active . It is very difficult to handle... But they are my life. ❤❤❤.
Thanks for sharing! 👍
I have 2 podenco andaluz. Very smart intelligent❤... I love them ❤. They are my kids ❤. Good explanation 🎉 ❤ from India.
The smaller ones do look like Jack Russells. 😂
👍👍
Some look like Ibeza hounds
3:00 is Ibizan Hound. It is one of Pondeco breeds.
I keep hearing about spanish hunters treating their dogs ( galgos, podenco) really bad. Anyone knows is it true if yes why is that?
Depends on the person. I know of hunters over there that care for there dogs really well.
As Brooklyn said, it is individual. Some hunters value their dogs highly and they treat them well. But Galgos and Podencos are one of the most abused dogs in Europe for sure.
@@brooklyn.redhunt spanish hunters?
He made a video about this, the galgos and the mistreatment of them.
They re usually treated as tools.... some may have about 10 to 20 dogs and will take them to hunt in dog crates which you usually see in the motorways 4x4s withe the crates at the back with about 10 dogs squashed inside.. once hunting season is over the old or frail are usually disposed off .. via killing, hanging or just left to die... my Podenco Adaluz was found in a dustbin inside a plastic bag with her sisters... he must have been a month old.. happily he is 5 year old now and the best dog ive eve had..

I read the thumbnail as “Al Pachino dogs”
I'm in for that

Eu tenho um Podengo Português médio puro com pêlo de arame. Ele é lindo!! ruivo com algumas manchas brancas e de olhos verdes, nariz cor de Rosa. Ele é muito activo, adora correr e ladrar. Ele é um Caçador instintivo, ele é também instintivamente um cão de guarda e de defesa.Ele Gosta muito do convívio com outros cães quando amigáveis. Se eu chegar perto dele e do outro cão ele ataca ou finge atacar o outro o cão. É muito possessivo comigo. Ele gosta de brincar com a família. Ele é muito mimado e gosta de acompanhar a família no carro ou em grandes caminhadas.
O teu cachorrinho tem Instagram? Que espaço de habitação é o mais adequado para um Podengo desse porte?
I really like it thanks a lot.
But please, why do you sound like a Indian call Center agent? 😅😆😃When I saw you I was quite shocked- no bad feelings pls ✌🏼
Great work
