Podenco Canario - Perfil de la raza
Well, apologies all round from us! Its been two weeks since we posted our last blog, with all the excitement of International Day of the Podenco we thought we would give you all some peace and quiet. But now we are back, with none other than the Podenco Canario breed profile!
Podenco Canario
El Podenco Canario, o Sabueso Canario, tiene un aspecto y un tamaño más consistentes, son de medianos a grandes y delgados, con extremidades finas, hocico largo y orejas grandes y puntiagudas. Se utilizan para la caza y, aunque son relativamente conocidos en Gran Canaria (¡desde hace más de 500 años!), no son tan reconocidos en la península.
The Podenco Canario comes in the one coat type - Short Haired (although this can be rough and smooth)
They also come in one size range:
Large - 20 to 25 inches // 50 to 64cm // 22-33kg
The Podenco Canario colour varieties are - Brown, Chocolate, Black and White
They are often confused with Ibizan or Pharaoh Hounds.
As with all Podencos, they are full of character. Very smart and a little wilful, happy with people and other animals (when introduced responsibly), very affectionate and extremely loyal with their owners.
The need daily walking and enjoy a good run in a safe field, they are incredibly speedy!
Their life span is 10-13 years.
