  • xbred Galgos, xbred Podencos, the result of abandoned bitches in season

    Cordoba galga w puppies 250 1 El Arca de Noe 16 05 2011 Do you remember this photo? An abandoned galga, surviving life with puppies beneath a Cordoba motorway. She and two puppies were rescued; the bitch has been adopted, but Taz and Wolf, her babies, are still looking for forever homes.
