Quote from an Owner  

Ibizan Hounds are certainly wonderful dogs to live with. They are a soft-hearted, affectionate breed with a constant, sweet and loyal disposition. Often clowns, friendly and outgoing with strangers, an Ibizan is always looking for the next person to give it a pat on the head, kiss or treat.  The Ibizan is a high-energy dog when outdoors, but once it has matured, it is a good house pet.  In the yard, you will find them running and playing; in the house, lounging.  Remember, they are exuberant as puppies, needing exercise, and firm yet gentle discipline.  You will know when company has arrived, as Ibizans are alert and make very good watch dogs (not guard dogs).  They will fit well into a  household with children as well as with other pets, large and small.  The Ibizan should never show signs of shyness or aggression towards people.  This is not their nature.

Basic Requirements  Ibizans need a yard with a tall fence and room to run and play. They need occasional brushing and bathing.   Their  coat does shed somewhat,  but if they are brushed twice a week  this will keep shedding to a minimum. Ibizan Hounds want to be a part of the family.

Temperament  

Happy, energetic and inquisitive are terms  often  used  to describe  the breed. They love children, and are readily trainable.  Shy or aggressive dogs are not the norm.

Health- (Health dictionary link - click here)   Generally a healthy breed, there are a few problems to watch for.  Allergies, Seizures, Deafness, Axonal Dystrophy, Hip Dysplasia, Juvenile Cataracts, Retinal Dysplasia, Collie Eye, Mitral Valve Prolapse, Wobblers. Since hearing and eye problems are on the rise in the breed, it is recommended that puppies are tested for hearing (BAER test without anesthesia) and eye problems (CERF exam) before going to their new homes.

Myths  

It is not true that Ibizans dislike cats. Although they would probably chase strange cats that might wander into their yard, Ibizans and cats that are raised together can become great friends.                                      ~Robin Castillo, SunRumba Sighthounds
