11 Portuguese Dog Breeds (With Pictures!)

Portugal is a country known for its amazing beaches, picturesque towns, and, of course, its custard tarts. It’s not a country particularly famous for its dogs (except, maybe, the Portuguese Waterdog). There are, however, some amazing Portuguese dog breeds. Everything from Hounds to Mastiffs. Because Portugal was a country that was traditionally dependent on the sea and agriculture, most Portuguese dogs are workers that are built for time outdoors.
