Ibizan Hound

From the Balearic Islands, where it hunted rabbits through dry scrub, the Ibizan Hound sheds heat through a lean frame and huge, thin, upright ears. It comes in smooth and wire coats; both are short, but the smooth coat is the easier pick for a desert summer. Famous for leaping from a standstill, it needs a fence of around 1.8 metres and gates that latch properly.
