  • Spain v Holland – galgos in Sofia El Refugio Escuela discuss!

    Anja-galgos- Sofia El Refugio Escuela 07 2010 250 The galgos in Sofia El Refugio Escuela in Seville are discussing Spain v Holland on Sunday, and which team they should support. I print below the conversation as it was sent to me.

    ‘Spain claim their first title after beating Germany 1-0 and our galgos already know.
    Well, first of all, congratulations Spain! But the World Cup Final is Spain vs Holland and our galgos have the dilemma which national team they have to support!: “Guys, let’s see, and now? Red or Orange?”

    Thousands already living in the Netherlands for years: ” Orange, of course! I don’t come back!”
    Those who have just arrived in Holland and even bark in spanish: “Pfff… I want to put down roots here, but my heart is still red…”

  • Holland v Spain, World Cup – All galgos and podencos to wear orange!

    Ellie Galgo Love Foundation Holland 210 I’ve just received this message which I share with you.

    Sunday is the World Cup final between Spain and the Netherlands. So on this occasion I am putting out a call to everyone. I am a Dutch owner of dogs from Spain. I call on all galgo and podenco owners to put orange on their dog’s collar, as an act o protest and an indictment of the treatment of dogs in Spain.

    Thanks on behalf of all Spanish dogs.

    Kind regards, Joke Brussen, volunteer for www.greytcreations.nl, and www.podencoworld.nl galgolovefoundation.nl

  • Kafir – a galgo surviving against all odds – looking for his forever home

    Kafir lying down 0110 250 This is the latest news about Kafir, the poor galgo who tried to chew off his leg.
    Cristina writes:

    ‘I just want to tell you that Kafir was operated last Friday 8th January and the operation was a total success. The rest of his hind leg has been amputed and it was a wonderful job of our spanish vet, who sadly is already used to these kind of operations.

    Poor Kafir had a bad waking up from anesthesy as he was crying very much and felt totally confused. He stayed in the clinic during the night and I went there to bring him his favourite rice with chicken and carrots for his dinner.
