A guide for a healthy adult. Puppies, older dogs and flat-faced breeds in the heat need less.

Good to know

  • Rabbit hunters: an ancient hunting breed from the Balearic Islands that uses sight, scent and hearing, with a strong prey drive to match.
  • Spectacular jumpers: they can clear high fences from a standstill, so they need tall, secure fencing and a leash outdoors.
  • Clownish and sensitive: playful and affectionate at home, they respond best to gentle, positive training.
  • Two coat types: smooth or wire coats both need little grooming beyond a weekly brushing.

Getting out with a Ibizan Hound

They need daily exercise beyond a stroll: longer trails, games of fetch and time to run at the park.
