Portuguese Podengo
Portuguese Podengos (Medium, 35-44 pounds) are energetic, intelligent, and hardy, great for active owners. They’re good with kids when socialized but may be too lively for toddlers. High exercise (1-2 hours daily, hunting or running) suits them; their short or wiry coat needs minimal brushing.
Feed 2-3 cups daily of Merrick Classic Healthy Grains Adult, with 26% protein for their energy and joint health. Monitor portions to stay lean. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with secure yards, they’re not for apartments.
Training curbs chasing. Perfect for outdoorsy owners, Podengos thrive with activity, not for sedentary or urban homes.
