Ibizan Hound
This dog enjoys chasing small animals. It is gentle and quiet and may be reserved around strangers.
Breed Overview
Originating in the Balaeric Island of Ibiza, this hound is used for lure coursing and hunting rabbits. These quiet house pets are loyal, athletic, gentle, even-tempered, and make excellent watchdogs. They may be timid around strangers but can warm up to them easily after some time. They enjoy running and chasing, so ideally a long walk or jog would be great for them. Daily exercise is required and a chance to run full out once in a while is great for these hounds. They are ideal companions for active singles, families, outdoor enthusiasts, and experienced dog handlers. They may either have a smooth or wire coat, but either way grooming is minimal. The smooth coat only requires brushing to remove dead hair, and the wire coat requires weekly brushing.
