The Portuguese Podengo Pequeño is a little dog with a big name. The smallest of the podengo dogs, the pequeño (which means “small” in Spanish) was bred as a rabbit hunter as long ago as 2,000 years. The word “podengo” refers to a pack dog, which the Portuguese Podengo Pequeño still very much is. These dogs love spending time with other dogs, as well as humans. Standing as high as 30 centimetres at the shoulder, the Pequeño can weigh up to 6 kilograms. Portuguese Podengo Pequeños with yard access need a fence to prevent them from chasing “prey” all over town.
