What a neat breed. My wife saw that pic of your dog, and loved it!She is a Podenco @Frankthetank ..Spanish sight hound....
They have a strong prey drive, therefore they cannot be trusted off lead unless in a safely enclosed area. Once off the lead, they might not come back for a long time. A hound that knows where its home is and the surrounding area will usually return unscathed.
HISTORY AND USE
This breed originates in the island of Eivissa and has been traditionally used in the Catalan-speaking areas of Spain, and France where it was known under the name of Le Charnigue, to hunt rabbits and other small game.
The Podenco is a fast dog that can hunt on all types of terrain, working by scent, sound and sight. Hunters run these dogs in mostly female packs, with perhaps a male or two, as the female is considered the better hunter.
Traditionally a farmer may have 1 dog and a very well off farmer 2 dogs to catch rabbits for food. However in the last 20 years it is seen as a sport where between 5 and 15 dogs can be seen in the chase of one rabbit.
This breed is considered by most experts one of the most ancient dog breeds. It is believed the Podenco Hound evolves from the tesem, the ancient Egyptian hunting dog. Representations of this dog on the walls of ancient tombs show a striking similarity to the modern Podenco Hound. These dogs would have been brought to the island of Eivissa by the Phoenicians, who founded settlements there as early as the 8th century BC.
