Peppa

Peppa the Podenco Cross

Meet Peppa an absolutley stunning dog rescued from the Ukraine as a puppy.

She was a litter of 4 abandoned on the street and horrifically attacked by a man who threw hot molten tar over them. The scarring is very visable on her back and is still sensitive when touched or in strong sunlight. Sadly 2 puppies died but Peppa now 2 years old and her remaining sibling have been rehomed with loving families in Derbsyhire.

I have the pleasure of walking such a beautiful girl every week, she is very sweet natured, and loves her walks with plenty of sniffing along the way.

Peppa's owner advises she is a mixed breed of many variants but there is a definate

resemblance to the Podenco.

So incredibly cute

Podencos are an ancient group of Spanish hunting dogs, known to be athletic, intelligent and independent with a very high prey drive making them excellent hunters. They can be challenging pets without proper training and secure fencing !! They are characterised by large erect ears, have a slender build and a great combination of scent, sight and hearing for hunting rabbits. While loyal and affectionate with their families they can be reserved with stangers and require significant physical and mental exercise.

Loving the green grass and blue skies

Look at that stance
