The Monográfica is the annual show of the Portuguese Podengo Club of Portugal (Clube do Podengo Português). It's run under Clube Português de Canicultura rules and is the local equivalent of a single breed show run under Kennel Club rules like our own Open Show.
On the continent, the three Podengo sizes (Grande, Medio and Pequeno – large, medium and small) are judged separately. Additionally, the wire (pêlo cerdoso) and smooth coated (pêlo liso)are also separated so there are in effect 6 quite distinct varieties all with their own competition. The winners of each of these 6 varieties then go head-to-head for Best in Show.
Association members often travel to Portugal to attend the show as exhibitors and/or spectators. Keep an eye on the FB page for details. We have the results of the last few shows below and you can read more about some of our visits in the
Misc > Archives section of the website.
