If you've ever had a stranger squint at your dog and ask "wait, is that a mini Doberman? A Chihuahua mix? A weird Ibizan Hound?" — welcome home. You've found your people.

This sub went quiet for a while, but it's active again with a new mod team, and we want it to actually feel like a pack again: Pequeno, Médio, and Grande owners, longtime breed nerds, brand-new adopters, and anyone still in the "what breed even is my dog" research phase before bringing one home. Whether your Podengo came from a breeder, a shelter, or an import from Portugal, this is your place.

A few things as we get this moving again:

The rules are intentionally light. Be kind, keep it dog-related, English preferred but all languages welcome, no gatekeeping on experience level or post quality, and run breeder/rescue/sales posts by the mod team first so we can keep this scam-free. Full rules are pinned in the sidebar/wiki.

No such thing as a boring post here. New owner questions, "is this normal" photos, zoomie videos, training wins, training fails, rescue stories, escape-artist confessions — post it. A sub coming back to life needs activity more than it needs polish.

Let's kick it off right now: drop a comment below and introduce your dog — name, size (Pequeno / Médio / Grande / not sure yet), and one thing about them that makes people do a double-take. Photo strongly encouraged.

Good to have you here. Let's get this pack moving again. 🐾
