Features
The maneto is an Andalusian Hound of medium size, with natural achondroplasia or bassetism. The Real Sociedad Canina de EspaƱa has acknowledged this breed as a fully-fledged breed.
This breed tends to dislike harnesses and collars, as it is extremely playful. It is often good to allow the maneto to play freely while it exercises, as this allows it to retain its natural shape.
Health
This dog breed frequently needs to have its teeth looked after, as they are frequently worn down.
