The Ibizan Hound is an elegant and athletic sighthound known for its long, slender build and distinctive large, upright ears. Originally bred in Spain for hunting rabbits, this breed is agile, fast, and intelligent, with an exceptional sense of sight. Ibizan Hounds have a smooth or wiry coat, typically in shades of white, red, or a combination of both. Despite their strong prey drive, they are gentle, affectionate, and good-natured with their families. They are independent but enjoy companionship and are relatively easy to train with consistent positive reinforcement. Active and energetic, the Ibizan Hound thrives in homes where it can exercise regularly and enjoy mental stimulation.
