Podenco
A lively Spanish hunting hound with striking ears and a gentle heart.
The Podenco is a traditional Spanish hunting dog found in several regional types, including the Podenco Andaluz, Canario, and Ibicenco. Lean, agile, and highly alert, Podencos are often seen in UK rescue after being imported from Spain. They form strong bonds with their families, enjoy outdoor exercise, and typically have a short, easy-care coat.
