Portuguese Podengo Medio

A very ancient breed of dog used by the Portuguese for hunting various game, depending on the size of the dog.

There are Podengo Pequenos. [very small]

Podengo Medios [mid-sized]

Podengo Grandes [large]

They're basically Velociraptors in fur suits...:)

Usually, the hunters don't even carry guns because the dogs do all the work.

Never heard of them - thanx.
They look like an ancient breed.
From what I read, it sounded as if they may be shown at Westminister next year.
