If you can get an invite to hunt in this country with someone you have not met before then doing the same in another country is just as easy. They’re just dog men who like hunting dogs too. I had about 50 invites in place before heading over here but won’t be able to fit them all in, all manner of hunting. Been to France digging and Utah mountain lion hunting twice too by doing the same thing. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've done the same in NZ a couple of times and been on a hunting trip, not as successful as yours, to Spain as well. Its a great way to meet people and see different kinds of hunting. I'm shit at languages though so never tried Europe on my own Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Parabuteos lad 878 Posted November 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Just an update, not had much chance to edit and upload any photos yet as I literally haven’t stopped. Wednesday I hunted podenco xarnego valenciano in the actual valencian orange groves which was nice, we had 4 rabbits and one was released. Yesterday I hunted Rehala again and we had around 50 reds and 30 boar with both dogs and guns, great day. this evening I am meeting with and having a meal with the president of the Rehala association, think he wants to understand my intentions, suss me out type thing. tomorrow I hunt Rehala with him for the first time, it was tough saying goodbye to the other rehaleros who had treated me so well but I’ll be sure to sing their praises to the president of their sport. Will get some images up as soon as I can. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Parabuteos lad 878 Posted November 21, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Home today, unfortunately didn’t get my final day Rehala as it was cancelled due to rain. Instead visited the kennels of the Rehala president to see and discuss his dogs. we met on the Friday for a drink and tapas and discussed the various issues faced by us in the uk and those in Spain at the hands of the antis. I put him in touch with the president of French terrierwork so that both organisations can liaise and discuss their plans etc. Which is nice. Here our organisations just take the donations then turn their back on us. Alfonso works a breed of podenco called Podenco Paternino, a breed actually created by English men who travelled to Spain around 100 years ago. They felt the dogs being used were too heavy and slow so wanted a dog that would hunt all day, faster and had a lighter frame. The Spanish do not know what breed was used but it is my belief based on the time, what they were trying to achieve etc. That is has been foxhound blood and then they have been line bred down from then. I believe collie has been added along the line but not in the original make up. I also got to see his alano espanyol’s which he uses to hold the boar, incredible dogs 20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually thinking of taking an English dog over there in a couple of years and seeing if the hares are faster or their dogs are slower. Only way to find out I think 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
