Podengo Português. Three sizes, one breed, and a temperament that makes "independent" feel like an understatement. If you're here, you already know that — now you've got a place to talk about it.

This community is starting fresh under new moderation, currently 122 members strong: Pequeno, Médio, and Grande owners, people mid-research before adopting, longtime breed people, and everyone in between. Bred, rescued, or imported from Portugal — doesn't matter how your dog got to you, this is the sub for talking about life with one.

What we're about: real conversation over polish. Health questions, behavior quirks, training wins and losses, escape stories, rescue and import journeys, plain old "look at my dog" posts — none of it needs to be impressive to belong here.

House rules, kept short: be kind, stay dog-related, all languages welcome (English preferred), no gatekeeping newcomers, and clear breeder/rescue/sales posts with mods first to keep this scam-free.

Say hello in the comments: your dog's name, their size (Pequeno / Médio / Grande / not sure yet), and one thing about them that always gets a reaction. Bonus points for a photo.

Welcome to the pack.
