No mate sat outside shops fuming I’d forgotten they were closed waiting for them to reopen ?

Thank you for sharing my post Sandy. I think historically the Spanish have had issues but there was also a time we pushed women into the sea to find out if they were witches. Cultures advance. I have been out there three times and I’m them times met countless galgueros, podenqueros and rehaleros and seen nothing that I haven’t seen elsewhere in the world. As a matter of fact the worst things I have seen in dog work, were not in Spain. In them three trips I have met well over 100 rehaleros, all loved and were proud of the dogs they had and able to discuss the lineage etc. there’s eviden

For anyone interested I have been back to Spain again! There’s videos of it all on my Instagram and more pictures on both Instagram and Facebook. I think I had seven days in total with the dogs after boar, red deer, mouflon and Barbary sheep. I even had an evening thrush shooting in the olive groves.

Well, all my hunting for this trip is finished. Not as successful as last time but just as enjoyable. My last two days have been with rehala on monteria but these monteria were not fenced and so it was much more real hunting. We didn’t manage to get on any quarry and the approx 30 guns didn’t even shoot anything. Day one we hunted boar and red deer, day two we hunted ibex and aoudad, despite lots of tracks and fresh pop we couldn’t find them.

Interesting face on it for a straight galgo, looks like saluki blood?

Anyway, on a lighter note. yesterday I hunted hares with falcon and saluki. I flushed our only hare on the day and it unfortunately got away but was great to see and I’ll be joining him again next season at a better area. One saluki was a direct gift from the Bedouin and the other was a dog bred in Saudi crossed with a Spanish show saluki. The Bedouin dog was a much nicer type and there was definitely a difference between them.

Stories, if it was going on and the people writing these stories were actually discovering/finding/seeing this, would they not take a photo to prove it? The only images I have seen are grainy and from the 90’s at best. 30 years ago now, our own hunting landscape was vastly different 30 years ago. Communities grow and the hunting community is no different.

More and more are adopting gps systems now but these aren’t cheap. As they become more prominent I bet we hear of les and less “abandoned” dogs

One thing I have noticed from Spanish dogs if that the vast majority will not go to anyone but their owner, galgos, podencos and Podenco crosses. I think these charities often misconstrue this as fear but doesn’t appear to be. I have a vid on my phone of a Podenco pup absolutely beside itself wanting to play but refusing to come near me, very clearly happy and excited in the vid. so when the rehala dogs get lost and these charities find them they assume the dogs are scared and abandoned but in reality their owners are posting on the fb groups

There are also lots of stories of rescues stealing galgos from hunters no?
-
I would also add, these dogs have to perform just as much as That’s interesting I’ll look into it, I have been hunting the the president of rehala association and his Alano’s. He is also a solicitor so I would have thought if that was the case he would be all over it etc. see what I can find out

So they are not allowed them with the rehala packs? I can honestly say I’ve seen nothing but good husbandry and empathy to dogs and quarry. there are lots of stories as you stated, but no images or evidence, the photos available look like they were taken with a potatoe in an age where every person has a camera phone in their pocket. I’ve drove accross Spain twice now and the only stray dogs I’ve seen were a strong collie type dog. If I had a pound for everytime someone said “my friend lives in Spain and says that…” then my next trip would be paid for. there will undo

Gutted, sandymere was right and the final has changed to Sunday. I have boar and mouflon hunting plans for Sunday so not going to be able to attend. Instead I’m driving back to cordoba now and going to hopefully get two days boar hunting in instead.

Get yourself some alanos and befriend a Rehalero, I’ve got offers left right and center everyone seems really nice ??
-
You not get a chance to do much hunting that way? Big Podenco / rabbiting area isn’t it? Fair bit of galgo interest towards Valencia / albacete too
-
Where are you mush? Is it Barca way if I remember?

Don’t scare me like that ?

Why do you say Sunday? Has it changed as it was supposed to be Saturday and I’m half way through a 7 hour journey there.

She ran 6 times today in the semi’s, 5 of the runs were null as the hare was caught / got away in less than 55 seconds. The remaining course was won by Picara De Moris. I think they are running again tomorrow to settle the remaining point / 2 points. Here is the semi’s so far. Surprise of the palms, the favourite from what I saw, is out. i also heard there was controversy in earlier rounds with a bitch being disqualified on medical grounds and had nothing wrong with her
