MISSION STATEMENT

The purpose of the Portuguese Podengo Pequeno Club of America (PPPCA) is to encourage and promote quality in the breeding of purebred Portuguese Podengo Pequenos in accordance with the PPPCA translation of the Federation Cynologique International breed standard as approved by the American Kennel Club, and to support the development of local Portuguese Podengo Pequeno Specialty clubs in America in those areas where there are sufficient fanciers of the breed.

The Portuguese Podengo Pequeno Club of America will do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed and to encourage sportsman-like competition at dog shows. Furthermore, the PPPCA will promote the qualities of the breed to the members and general public through communications, publications, educational seminars, and other positive approaches. PPPCA brings
together Portuguese Podengo Pequeno aficionados who share the pursuits of raising, training, breeding, hunting, and competing and are committed to stimulating interest in competitive public showings of Portuguese Podengo Pequenos and developing and protecting the Breed.
