About the Ibizan Hound

The Ibizan Hound is a lithe, athletic sighthound that originated in the Balearic Islands off the coast of Spain. Function-bred for thousands of years to hunt rabbits across rough terrain, the breed combines deer-like elegance with remarkable agility, jumping ability, and stamina.

Recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1979, the Ibizan Hound is even-tempered, affectionate, and loyal — a versatile companion suited to conformation, lure coursing, agility, obedience, tracking, and life as a family dog. Coats come in two varieties (short and wire), in white, red, or any combination.
