This is a question for the legal experts to answer. A couple in Palencia found two starving galgos in a ditch a couple of years ago. They adopted them and walk them in the fields in a morning, letting them run free. As they are so well fed, they don’t tend to catch anything!
The couple have now been told – by a man with two (unleashed) hunting dogs – that they are breaking the law by having the galgos run free in the campo, that they spoil the hunting. If he sees them running free again, he will file a report with the Guardia Civil.
Extensive research on the Internet for rules regarding galgos and leads and “cotos de caza,” has brought no information.
It is obviously vitally important that anyone with an adopted galgo, podenco or other Spanish hunting dog, knows exactly where they stand with regard to Spanish law and exercising their dogs loose.
Please can anyone with knowledge of the law advise.
