Appearance
The Podenco is noticeable by its "bat-similar" standing ears, which appear still larger by its slim body form. The Podenco seems to glatthaariger variant in rau and, whereby the glatthaarige is more frequent. The desired colors are red with white, white with red, with that Portuguese in addition honey coloured. Origin is probably the Egyptian Pharaonenhund, that Tesem, that age-old race, for which the Egyptians in their grave marks had already set a monument.
Nature
The Podenco is in its homeland no rare race, is bred however rather not after the race standard, but already aligned since a few thousand years rather regional-typically, as required and function.
The Podenco is according to its regulation a "Solitaerjaeger", a hunting dog in the wahrsten sense: He hunts and catches the booty independently and returns these often living to its owner: He hunts with "soft muzzle".
Often Podencos are not alone used but as "Meute", although the term is not correct here Meute. The dogs co-operate in unbelievable kind, so that disputes are observed rarely around the booty. The dogs select themselves their tasks as desired. Some stoebern rather in the bushes, other one change the shrubs over and place, which out-runs. The Podenqueros helps the dogs thereby. In Andalusien become sometimes Manetos or to the support assigned.
The selbststaendigkeit of the dog makes it difficult to hold it as Begleithund: In the house he is wind-dog-typically a calm, gentle contemporary, outside however wants he its actual task to take over, the hunt. Often it is to be let run not possible it without line.
Use
In the country of origin the Podenco is used to the unarmed Meutejagd on rabbits. For it it is only bred. A Meute usually exists of a Rueden and up to 10 dogs. The Podenco is very jump enormous and extremely.
The Podencos not only a view hunter, but it hunt also for hearing or with the nose. It understands to combine it also these three possibilities perfectly.
Notes
A Podenco is for each owner challenge, since its nature is comparable with none of the local dog races. In the house it is a rather inconspicuous and verschmuster type. It goes however to outside then shows it its true nature. It to a hunter on everything to go wants which moves. Who thus a calm Familienbegleithund searches is here rather wrongly at the place. The training of a Podencos required over long time an angel patience and a loadable nerve costume. Also dog schools with these dogs are really been versed are RSR.
In Germany it is to be kept kind fair rather with difficulty to not possibly it, since the hunt stop only the hunter shank is reserved. A few Podenco Ibicencos, - Canarios and Portugues find an approximate replacement on the dog course in Germany, where them rush-rubbed their controlled realize may.
At present (2005) there are only few despite the relatively large number of Podencos in Germany, which come almost exclusively from the animal protection, with the DWZRV registered dogs. One finds these occasionally on the course, with the Coursing or on breed looking.
