About the Ibizan Hound:
Ibizan Hound information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

The Ibizan is an extremely athletic breed, not only can they run fast for long distances, they also have an amazing ability to jump. They have been bred for centuries to hunt in rough terrain which has made them exceptionally healthy, sturdy and prey driven. They should have daily access to a large fenced area or long walks on leash. Like all sight hounds it is dangerous to allow them to run off-lead in unfenced areas.

Intelligent and sensitive, this breed should only be trained using gentle methods - never harsh punishment. It is very important to properly socialize them from puppy hood, otherwise they could have problems with shyness. They are very affectionate with their family and are gentle with children. They have a high prey drive and may chase small animals and cats. With training and careful introduction they can learn to get along with little difficulty.
