ABOUT: DACHSHUND DOG BREED
The dachshund is a small dog breed known for its long body, short legs, and distinctive appearance. Originally bred for hunting badgers, these playful and loyal dogs make loving companions for families. Dachshunds come in three coat varieties smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired each with its own unique charm. Despite their size, dachshunds are bold and courageous, with a curious nature that can sometimes lead to mischief. Their endearing personality and adaptability make them popular pets worldwide.
The Portuguese Podengo is a versatile and ancient breed originating from Portugal. Classified into three sizes (small, medium, and large), this breed is known for its exceptional hunting skills, agility, and strong prey drive. With upright ears, almond shaped eyes, and a lean, athletic build, the Portuguese Podengo is a loyal and intelligent companion that thrives on both mental and physical stimulation. As a natural hunter, the Portuguese Podengo requires ample exercise and a secure environment to channel its high energy levels effectively.
