<P> They are watchful and observant and will bark when something gets their attention . Most enjoy digging and need a secure fence, optimally enclosing their own yard . As they are very agile, regular fencing might not be enough, as they are excellent jumpers and climbers . The best way to address this is with a high enough fence to prevent jumping and a "fence" below the ground, preferably of hardware cloth . </P> <P> When trained, Podengo Medios can have good recall when not on leash . While hiking with them, they generally stay in visual distance and "check" on their owners frequently, always being aware of their position (although that can mean a few acres away). Of course, they must be trained with a reliable recall first . </P> <P> They are enthusiastic, trainable dogs . This led them to star in a number of movies in the 1990s and 2000s, including Dante's Peak, Three Wishes, Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco, Zeus and Roxanne, Secondhand Lions, Can of Worms and Soccer Dog: The Movie . Also The Lake House </P> <P> The Portuguese Podengo Medio, both smooth and wire - haired, has existed, unregistered, in the United States for decades in small numbers with Portuguese - Americans in private home settings, where they have been used for traditional rabbit hunting . They were never really popularized outside of their immigrant homesteads . They are attractive, nice family dogs, with a touch of mischief . The first group of Podengo Medio fanciers met in the US in the early 90's via the early internet Gopher (protocol) system . Registered purebred Smooth Podengo Medios began being shown in America in 2004 and registered purebred Wirehaired Podengo Medios began being shown in America in 2005 . </P>
