  • Galgo News Stands Neutral as far as the World Cup goes!

    Beryl & Galgas 3 250 Personally, as a Brit, the English football team were a joke. That’s nothing new. We introduced football, cricket, tennis, golf to the world. Whatever we introduce, we then are the losers. Andy Murray put up a good show in tennis, but the footballers – and when you consider what these males are paid????!!! – were pathetic. And why? Because there are so many foreign footballers in the UK football teams that the English team manager can’t find enough decent English players. I could go on further, but I won’t.

    Just to say that I support neither Holland nor Spain in the World Cup final. Why? Well, Holland has taken so many rescued galgos to its hearts and homes, but Spain is the home of the galgo, and I could never abandon support – even in the World Cup – for the amazing volunteers who work to rescue, and give shelter to, and rehome abroad, these beautiful innocents who suffer so at the hands of the bastard galgueros.

    So, Galgo News stands neutral. But hope you enjoyed the photos and comments from galgos in Holland and Spain!

  • 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…”
