Portuguese podengu

The Portuguese podengu needs early socialization and early obedience training. This dog learns quickly, but does not respond well to harsh training methods. A young podengu has fragile bones, so do not exercise dexterity with it until it is 6 months old. Since humans almost did not interfere in the formation of this breed, the podengu retained the ability to easily adapt to adverse environmental conditions, while maintaining its hunting functions. This is a very hardy dog that easily tolerates heat and snow, both indoors and outdoors. Weight: 4 - 20 kg. Height at the withers: 20 - 56 cm. Life expectancy: 12 - 14 years.
