Origin and History

The wind like dog Ibizan Hound is the most famous race from the group of hounds. Its origin area are belonging to Spain Balearic Islands. The island of Ibiza gave him, although his name, but you can find him today on all the islands of the Balearics and mainland Spain, especially in Catalonia.

One speculation on the origin of this breed is asking that his ancestor is the Tesem, the ( Kelb tal- Fenek ) is also associated with the indigenous to Malta Pharaoh Hound. A not so far been unproven theory is that the Phoenicians should have provided for the distribution of this dog type the entire Mediterranean. It would also be conceivable that the hounds, as well as the Pharaoh Hound and the Cirneco dell ' Etna have evolved from Mediterranean pariah dogs and their appearance less a common ancestor, but rather due to the specific requirements of their respective home regions.

In 1929 the Ibizan Hound to England, where he is still being bred. On the continent, he was designated a long time as Pharaoh Hound, a term that was first used in 1906 by the Swiss Dr. Carl von Muralt from Zurich in an article in a Swiss hunting magazine about hunting in the Balearic Islands. 1963 adopted the FCI breed standard one, which was much more oriented to the model of the Ibizan Hound, but made ​​it possible to register all prick eared, wind dog -like dogs from the Mediterranean as Pharaonenhunde. However, because since 1931 there was a filed of Spain at the FCI breed standard for the Ibizan Hound, there were de facto two breed standards for the same race. 1977 repealed the FCI this standard again and ordered the name Pharaoh Hound (English Pharaoh Hound ) a native of Malta Kelb tal- Fenek.

Typically, it behaves very quiet, kind and gentle in the apartment. Striking are its very large erect ears, which he has in common with all the hounds. The typical gait is the weitausholende, very elegant trot. When tracking prey he indicates this by vigorously wagging tail. Noticeable in this context is any purebred Ibizan given white tail tip. Hunting is done with the track volume.

Use

The Ibizan Hound is used for hunting small game. Typical prey is the wild rabbit, as with all hounds. The Ibizan Hound is mostly used in larger packs to hunt. In the tall grass or bushes, the dogs orient with partly high jumps until they have tracked down a rabbit. The hiding place is encircled by a pack and a dog jumps in front to catch the prey.

Sometimes the dogs move freely on the large plots of land to their owners, and it is not rare that they join wandering travelers. However, such a dog is by no means abandoned.

Comments

Although long known, the Ibizan Hound was a rather rare phenomenon in the German-speaking countries for a long time. To date, there are only a few breeders. In Germany was until 1998 a separate club, which also Cirneco dell ' Etna, the Podengo Português and the Ibizan Canario supervised next to the Ibizan Hound. Once the club has been disbanded, the VDH has the German Greyhound Breeding and Racing Association ( DWZRV ) transfer the care of the breeds on January 1, 1999. In Switzerland, the Swiss club for Mediterranean Greyhounds care of the Ibizan Hound.

In recent years, increasingly hounds are from different regions of Spain mediated by animal welfare organizations to Germany and the neighboring countries.
