Question: Are Berger Picard and Portuguese Podengo both dog breeds from Europe?

Context paragraphs:
Portuguese Podengo: The Portuguese Podengo is an ancient multi-sensory hound (sight and scent) breed of dog from Portugal.  As a breed, the Podengo is divided into three size categories that are not interbred: small (Pequeno), medium (Medio) and large (Grande).  Their coats are either short and 'smooth', or longer and 'wired'.  The smooth coated variety is traditional, dating back to the 5th century, whereas the wire coated variety is an outcome of the assimilation of various other breeds during the 20th century.  In general, the breed is healthy; the Pequeno (small) variety has an average lifespan of approximately 15–17 years.

Romanian Raven Shepherd Dog: The Romanian Raven Shepherd Dog is a very large Romanian livestock guardian dog, taxonomized within the second group of dog breeds - Pinscher and Schanuzer - Molossoid Breeds - Swiss Mountain and Cattle Dogs, section 2.2: Molossoid Breeds - Mountain type.

Conformation (dog): Conformation in dogs refers solely to the externally visible details of a dog's structure and appearance, as defined in detail by each dog breed's written breed standard.  A dog that "conforms" to most of the items of description in its individual breed standard is said to have "good conformation".  Unlike equine conformation, there are no fixed rules for dog conformation, as dogs are the most variable in appearance of any animals ("Phenotypic variation among dog breeds, whether it be in size, shape, or behavior, is greater than for any other animal").  Instead, conformation in dogs is based on the dog type from which the breed developed, along with many details that have been added to the breed standard for purposes of differentiation from other breeds, for working reasons, or for enhancing the beauty of the animals from the viewpoint of the fanciers who wrote the breed standards.

Dog breed: Dog breeds are dogs that have relatively uniform physical characteristics developed under controlled conditions by humans, with breeding animals selected for phenotypic traits such as size, coat color, structure, and behavior.  The Fédération Cynologique Internationale recognizes over 400 pure dog breeds.

Berger Picard: The Berger Picard (pronounced "Bare-ZHAY Pee-CARR") or Picardy Shepherd is a French breed of dog of the herding group of

Vulnerable Native Breeds: Vulnerable Native Breeds are a group of dog breeds originating in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and identified by The Kennel Club (KC) as having annual registration numbers of 300 puppies or fewer.  The need for such a list was first identified in June 2003, with research conducted by the KC to identify the extent of the vulnerability and viability of each breed.  It was a joint project, with the KC working with the British and Irish Native Breeds Trust, later to be known simply as the Native Dog Breeds Trust.  The breeds on the list have been promoted at events such as Discover Dogs and Crufts, and by asking that owners of these breeds mate their dogs rather than having them spayed.

Tugou: Tugou (土狗, pinyin: "tǔ gǒu"), literally means Native Dog in Mandarin Chinese, is the general name for several dog breeds originated from China and still abundantly exists across the country today.  Tugou includes the most popular Chinese dog breed - the Chinese Field Dog (, pinyin: "zhōng huá tián yuán quǎn"), Chinese Chongqing Dog, Xiasi Dog, and several other native dog breeds distributed across China.  They are roughly 45–50 cm tall at the shoulder.

Herding Group: Herding Group is the name of a breed group of dogs, used by kennel clubs to classify a defined collection of dog breeds.  It does not refer to one particular type of dog.  How the "Herding Group" is defined varies among kennel clubs, and different kennel clubs may not include the same breeds in their "Herding Group".  Some kennel clubs do not use the term "Herding Group".  The international kennel club association, the Fédération Cynologique Internationale, does not have a "Herding Group", and includes most pastoral dogs in Group 1 "Sheepdogs and Cattle Dogs (except Swiss Cattle Dogs)" and Group 2 "Pinscher and Schnauzer - Molossoid Breeds - Swiss Mountain and Cattle Dogs".

Andalusian Hound: The Andalusian hound (Spanish: "Podenco andaluz" ) is a dog breed originating in Spain, especially Andalusia.  These dogs are similar to other Iberian breeds such as the Ibizan Hound, the Portuguese Podengo, the Podenco Canario and the Maneto.  In the Iberian Peninsula there are cave paintings representing dogs with a strong resemblance to these races.  Dogs very similar to these, including the Cirneco dell'Etna and Pharaoh Hound, have been bred in much of the Mediterranean basin since ancient times.  Despite the widespread belief that the podencos were introduced into Spain some 3,000 years ago by the Phoenicians, recent genetic studies have concluded that these dogs actually have a close genetic relationship with other European hunting dogs and are no more "primitive" than the others.

Breed group (dog): A breed group is a categorization of related breeds of animal by an overseer organization, used to organize the showing of animals.  In dogs, kennel clubs define the "Breed Groups" and decide which dog breeds are to be included in each breed group.  The Fédération Cynologique Internationale breed groups are used to organize dogs for international competition.  Breed groups often have the names of, and are loosely based on, ancestral dog types of modern dog breeds.
