Get to Know this Lively, Intelligent Hound Breed

Portuguese Podengo Pequenos are the national breed of Portugal where dedicated breeders have worked tirelessly over centuries to perfect this hardy dog. Originally bred to hunt rabbits, alone or in small packs this driven hound also makes a great watchdog. They are quite energetic and enjoy at least 1 brisk walk daily.

Podengos, in general, are funny dogs that love to play. They easily entertain themselves with toys, chase each other and stalk each other around the house and yard. They are highly intelligent and learn new things very fast. Since they are a watchful dog though, they are not as easy going and playful with strangers and may view smaller animals like dogs and cats as prey. They may be quite reserved initially and prefer to greet strangers on their own terms. They are very tolerant and compliant, eager to please their family members and put up with most requests we make of them.
