IBIZAN HOUND |
|||||||||
History - The Ibizan Hound probably shares the same roots as the Paraoh Hound, bearing uncanny resemblance to the dogs depicted in Egyptian tombs and to the jackal god Anubis. Phoenician sea traders may have taken the dogs to the island of Ibiza in ancient times, where they remained in relative seclusion. Ibiza say many rulers through the ages, coming under the auspices of the Egyptians. The Ibizan gained recognition in 1979, but remains one of the rarer breeds. Temperament - The Ibizan Hound retains great hunting instinct, using its acute senses of hearing and smell to locate small animals and relishing the opportunity to chase anything that moves. Reserved with strangers, some can be timid. It is gentl, mild-mannered, even-tempered, and loyal, and makes a quiet, trustworthy house pet. Upkeep - Needs daily exercise. It loves to sprint. It prefers to live in a warmer climates. Size - Males 50 pounds, females 45 pounds; height 27.5 inches in males and 26 inches in females. |
