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.

Ontario is a largely pet-friendly place where it’s easy to have fun with your dog outdoors and away from home. Dog-friendly beaches, parks, hiking trails, campgrounds, hotels, restaurants and even tour groups abound in Canada’s second-largest province. The history of dogs in Ontario and throughout Canada is a long one, as Native people were the first to domesticate them in this part of the world thousands of years ago. The Canadian Kennel Club recognizes five pure Canadian breeds: the Tahltan bear dog, the Canadian Inuit dog, the Nova Scotia duck-tolling retriever, the Newfoundland dog and the Labrador Retriever.
Ontarians favourite breed of dog is the Labrador Retriever.
The City of Toronto puts out Green Bins in dog parks especially for compostable, nutrient-rich dog poo!
There are 7.7 million pet dogs in Canada, and about 230,000 of them live in Toronto.
