Portuguese Podengo Pequeno
Portuguese Podengo Pequeno, a small hunting dog native to southern Europe with a slim build, pointed ears, and either short and smooth or long, wiry fur. This breed is quick, sweet, and energetic, and it's the smallest of Portugals’ three Podengo breeds.
​
Podengos are one of Portugal’s most popular types of purebreds, and they can be found in three sizes—small, medium, and large—which are not interbred with each other. Portuguese Podengo Pequenos are little dogs with a long name. The breed looks similar in appearance to American dogs like the Jack Russell Terrier and Rat Terrier, though interestingly, the Portuguese Podengo Pequeno isn’t a terrier at all. Other names for the Portuguese Podengo Pequeno include the Portuguese Warren Hound and the Portuguese Rabbit Dog.
