Ibizan Hound

Ibizan Hound history is traceable back more than 5,000 years to ancient Egypt, a most fitting setting for this regal hound which was owned and hunted by the pharaohs.  The Ibizan Hound's clean-cut lines, large prick ears and light pigment give it a unique appearance.  Its elegance belies its strength and success as a hunter, its primary quarry being rabbits.  It has been successful as a lure courser and its agility and jumping ability are indeed remarkable.

The first Ibizan Hounds reached this country in the mid-1950s and over the years the breed has flourished here.  They are lively companions, pets, watchdogs, hunters and friends.
