Summary
About Portuguese Podengo
Ancient Portuguese hunting dog in three sizes (small, medium, large) and two coats (smooth or wire). Lean, athletic and alert, it’s lively, clever and affectionate. Needs substantial exercise, positive training, and mental stimulation, but is generally robust and long‑lived.
About Weimaraner
Large, athletic German gundog with a sleek silver-grey coat and amber eyes. Energetic, intelligent and strongly people-oriented “Velcro dog” needing 1.5–2 hours of daily exercise plus training. Versatile in dog sports; without stimulation may become noisy, destructive or escape-prone.
