Summary: A definitive guide to the plight of the Podenco, a Spanish hunting hound




This is a definitive guide to the Podenco, a Spanish hunting dog as found on the tombs of the Pharaohs when it was revered by the rulers, to its current situation in Spain and the Canary Islands where it is considered a hunting tool and suffers unimaginable cruelty.  Yet they are stunning dogs and very forgiving. They make wonderful pets.  The book is currently being translated into French and Italian.  Details are available on my weblog Podenco Post.
