Hm as far as I’ve read up on Spanish hunting dogs, podencos are an interesting mix of sight and scent type hound (like a mixture of eg a whippet and a beagle) whereas Galgos are the ‘Spanish greyhound’, in that they’re tall skinny sighthounds which, I think, are more used for coursing, running, rather than sprinting..My daughter sent me this, she hasn't met axle yet, just seen a picture. This is a type of Spanish Greyhound.

It's really odd because i have noticed he doesn't bark, and is very light footed. I'd wondered if he was dingo/ primative pack dog. He has a lovely temperament ( I know it's only the first day)
Reading about this breed, I saw that for some bizarre reason, a law was changed in spain a few months ago, which meant it was no longer against the law to have sex with one of these dogs. Unless they needed vet treatment afterwards! wtaf.
Obviously not a dog you'd find in Australia, but for the lol I might tell people my dogs a Podenco
Accessorising 101His brown eyes match his brown splodges very well

Can this be real ? I mean how ..
"Do you know what? I've got a feeling the squirrels don't disappear when they reach the tree. Bear with me but unlikely as it seems, I think they GO UP THE TREE! "
(A year now of chasing squirrels then fruitlessly sniffing around the tree while the squirrels take the piss from a few feet above his thick little head )

There’s a place in Reading that does it for £135 (£100 if you do it on a Tuesday). If that’s do-able, worth considering next time. It’s called vet’s klinicBit of a first world problem but yesterday I took him to get his AHC to travel to France. 230 fucking quid!
I don't even know what I've paid for. A load of signed papers that took 10 minutes to do. Absolute pisstake.
Pepper once barked a squirrel out of a tree. She'd chased it up there and started barking at it like a bastard, poor little thing got so scared it try to jump to another tree which was far too far away, it hit the deck and she pounced, a short shake and that was the end of that. Spoils the walk when she does that shit.
Today my daughter, who doesn't live with me... still managed to find a lost dog and brought it to mine Just a little new puppy fluffy dog. Axle was just so gentle with it turned out it had got out up the street and it's owner was a nurse in ED today, so the puppy stayed the day.
Plus had the grandkids over at the weekend and he just adores them

He died yesterday. It feels like my heart is going to stop beating at any moment.
