The Podenco Andaluz is an ancient Spanish breed of warren hound used to hunt small game in Andalusia, Spain.[1][2] It is one of four podenco breeds recognized by the Real Sociedad Canina de España.[1] It is an agile dog generally used to hunt ducks, rabbits, boar and fowl.[1][3] There are three accepted sizes (small, medium and large) and three coat types (wire-haired, long-haired and smooth).[2][4][5]
