The warren hounds are a group of Mediterranean rabbit-hunting dog breeds. In Spanish, this type of breed is called podenco, in Catalan coniller, and in Portuguese podengo.

Most warren hounds have erect ears, a smooth (or in some cases, wire) coat, a slender body, and a whip-like tail. But the Cretan hound has usually rose-ears and a curly or curved tail, while the Barrocal Algarvio is long-haired, and the Podenco Paternero and some Campaneros have a robust, almost mastiff-like body.
Unlike hounds or sighthounds which rely on just one sense, warren hounds tend to work with three senses: smell, sight and hearing.
