The Podengo Portugueso Pequeno originated in Portugal in the 1800s. They were derived from the Podengo Portugueso Medio, and both breeds are bred with wire and smooth coated forms.
The Podengo Portugueso Pequeno is sometimes described a resembling a sturdy Chihuahua, but there seems to be no ancestral link between the two breeds. The Pequeno is in fact a miniature sight hound, a well proportioned little dog, with a body longer than it is tall.
They should be 8-12 inches tall and weigh 11-13 pounds. Another name for the Podengo Portugueso Pequeno is the Small Portuguese Hound.
