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.

, one of five puppies born safely in the care of one of our wonderful partner shelters. Their mum, Reina, is a small Podenco Andaluz who was rescued from the streets while heavily pregnant, and she gave birth shortly after arriving. Thankfully everything went smoothly, and Reina has been a devoted, gentle mum to her little ones.Esme and her siblings are still very young, so their individual personalities are only just beginning to emerge. They’ve started exploring, playing, and showing those first hints of the curious, joyful nature we expect from pups raised with love and security. We don’t know who dad is, though a collie is a possibility.As Esme grows, we’ll learn more about her character — but for now, she’s a healthy, happy puppy getting the very best start in life.Podenco puppies/adolescents are very cute, but they need consistent training, patience and understanding especially through the adolescent phase where we find a lot of people tend to struggle. If you apply to adopt a podenco puppy, please ensure you have properly thought through the challenges you might face whilst they mature into a wonderful adult where you can then reap the rewards of your hard work. It is a wonderful experience to bring up a pod puppy, but it is not for the faint hearted!Esme will be vaccinated and tested for all Mediterranean diseases at the appropriate age. She is passported and available for adoption now (for the UK she can travel at 6 months old for EU she can travel at 4 months old). She will also require neutering at the appropriate age.If you would prefer to make a one off donation, please click below #block-0fb79a0abeedce75c754 { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } #block-0fb79a0abeedce75c754 .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-0fb79a0abeedce75c754 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } #block-0fb79a0abeedce75c754 { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } #block-0fb79a0abeedce75c754 { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-0fb79a0abeedce75c754 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-0fb79a0abeedce75c754 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { } Donate #block-bf37b749066536afcb6c { --sqs-block-content-flex: 0; } .fe-65abf9509ada66258aec2fdf { --grid-gutter: calc(var(--sqs-mobile-site-gutter, 6vw) - 11.0px); --cell-max-width: calc( ( var(--sqs-site-max-width, 1500px) - (11.0px * (8 - 1)) ) / 8 ); display: grid; position: relative; grid-area: 1/1/-1/-1; grid-template-rows: repeat(21,minmax(24px, auto)); grid-template-columns: minmax(var(--grid-gutter), 1fr) repeat(8, minmax(0, var(--cell-max-width))) minmax(var(--grid-gutter), 1fr); row-gap: 11.0px; column-gap: 11.0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-x: clip; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .background-width--inset .fe-65abf9509ada66258aec2fdf { --inset-padding: calc(var(--sqs-site-gutter) * 2); } .fe-65abf9509ada66258aec2fdf { --grid-gutter: calc(var(--sqs-site-gutter, 4vw) - 11.0px); --cell-max-width: calc( ( var(--sqs-site-max-width, 1500px) - (11.0px * (24 - 1)) ) / 24 ); --inset-padding: 0vw; --row-height-scaling-factor: 0.0215; --container-width: min(var(--sqs-site-max-width, 1500px), calc(100vw - var(--sqs-site-gutter, 4vw) * 2 - var(--inset-padding) )); grid-template-rows: repeat(7,minmax(calc(var(--container-width) * var(--row-height-scaling-factor)), auto)); grid-template-columns: minmax(var(--grid-gutter), 1fr) repeat(24, minmax(0, var(--cell-max-width))) minmax(var(--grid-gutter), 1fr); } } .fe-block-65abf950c209337baf50b2e5 { grid-area: 2/2/9/10; z-index: 0; @media (max-width: 767px) { } } .fe-block-65abf950c209337baf50b2e5 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-65abf950c209337baf50b2e5 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .fe-block-65abf950c209337baf50b2e5 { grid-area: 1/2/6/17; z-index: 0; } .fe-block-65abf950c209337baf50b2e5 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-65abf950c209337baf50b2e5 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } } .fe-block-65abf9503f5871c5af9d9b55 { grid-area: 10/2/14/10; z-index: 1; @media (max-width: 767px) { } } .fe-block-65abf9503f5871c5af9d9b55 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-65abf9503f5871c5af9d9b55 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .fe-block-65abf9503f5871c5af9d9b55 { grid-area: 1/17/6/21; z-index: 1; } .fe-block-65abf9503f5871c5af9d9b55 .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-65abf9503f5871c5af9d9b55 .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } } .fe-block-65abf950e8d50f78f9b7795f { grid-area: 14/2/18/10; z-index: 2; @media (max-width: 767px) { } } .fe-block-65abf950e8d50f78f9b7795f .sqs-block { justify-content: flex-start; } .fe-block-65abf950e8d50f78f9b7795f .sqs-block-alignment-wrapper { align-items: flex-start; } @media (min-width: 768px) { .fe
