Light skin, sleek design, and big pointed ears make the Ibizan Hound quickly recognizable. They carry the air of ancient nobility, with a pure lineage dating back as early as 3400 B.C. or before. Bred to be refined hunters, they have the same grace and instinct that they did in ancient Egypt.

Care
Ibizan Hounds require consistent grooming, including regular ear cleanings. Their coats should be brushed weekly, and they should be bathed on a somewhat regular schedule. Their nails are also very fast growing, so having an electric trimmer will help keep them in check.
All dogs require regular dental care, including at-home teeth brushing and professional dental cleanings, and the Ibizan Hound is no exception. Maintaining good dental hygiene is important for their overall long-term health.
