  • Have you rehomed a galgo or podenco you saw on Galgo News?

    If so, I’m collecting stories of galgos and podencos which Galgo News readers have adopted through seeing appeals on the website, or via associations which they read about on Galgo News.

    It would be marvellous if you could write between 750-1,000 words about what you know of the dog’s background, how you found out about the dog, how the dog made the journey to you, and their character now they are with you.

    Don’t worry if it goes more than that, I can always precis. And thank you a million times for those of you who have taken into your home one of the innocents of the Spanish hunters. Email me on band@bbrennan.eu before the end of September 2010
