Podenco Doormat #5 | All-Weather | Poddy Welcome Mat

Ancient, athletic, and deeply devoted — the Podenco is one of the oldest sighthound breeds in the world, with roots stretching back thousands of years to the hunting dogs of ancient Egypt and the Phoenician traders who brought them to the Mediterranean islands. Known by many names — Podenco, Pod, Poddy, Bat Dog, Kangaroo Dog, Spanish Hound, Spanish Sighthound, Warren Hound, Ibizan Hound, Ibizan Podenco, Podenco Canario, Podenco Andaluz — the Podenco is prized for its extraordinary speed, agility, and keen hunting instincts. Lean, elegant, and fiercely loyal, Podencos have been working alongside hunters across Spain, the Canary Islands, and the Balearics for centuries — and their lineage is so ancient that dogs resembling the Podenco appear in Egyptian tomb paintings dating back over 5,000 years.

This Podenco Doormat #5 features a striking Podenco illustration that replaces the letter O in the word HOME — a bold, breed-proud design that makes an immediate impression at any front door. It's made for Poddy lovers, sighthound enthusiasts, and anyone who wants their entryway to celebrate this ancient and graceful breed. Looking for Podenco doormats?
