Warren Hound
Warren Hound refers to the group of Mediterranean hare-hunting dogs. In Spanish, this kind of breeds are called podencos and in Portuguese, podengos. Generally speaking, a warren hound has erect ears, a smooth (or in some cases, wire) coat and a whip-like tail. However, there are some exceptions: for instance, the Cretan Hound has usually rose-ears and a curly or curved tail, while the Barrocal Algarvio is long-haired. Unlike hounds or sighthounds which rely on just one sense, warren hounds tend to work with three senses: smell, sight and hearing.
