Summary
About Portuguese Podengo Medio
The Portuguese Podengo Medio is a medium, athletic Portuguese hunting dog with smooth or wire coats needing simple grooming. Lively, intelligent and affectionate with family, it’s watchful with strangers and has strong prey drive. It needs plenty of daily exercise, training and mental stimulation.
About Azawakh
The Azawakh is an ancient Sahel sighthound: tall, ultra-lean and fast, bred by Tuareg nomads for guarding and hunting. Loyal and gentle with family but aloof with strangers, it needs secure fencing, ample daily exercise, a soft warm bed, and protection from cold due to its thin, short coat.
