Another rescue association involved in helping podencos. However, on reading their facebook page, I am uncertain that - with a project director in the USA, not all 'podencos' on their facebook page are actually Portuguese Podengos. Some are rough haired black and white. It would seem the team work with volunteers in the Azores, a series of 9 Islands in the North Atlantic ocean belonging to Portugal, rather than mainland Portugal.
Regular readers of my blog will know that I advertise Portuguese Podengos looking for forever homes on behalf of the Portuguese association Dogs of Portugal. And in all the years of being in contact with them and Anifiera association, I have yet to see a black and white 'Portuguese Podengo'.
This is the definition of a true Portuguese Podengo. Basically small rough haired dogs with ginger with white markings, used on sailing ships to catch rats.
