The Ibizan Hound, known for its slender, agile physique and large, expressive ears, is a breed with origins in the Balearic Islands. This sighthound is adept at hunting, using both sight and sound to track prey. Known for its speed, intelligence, and playful nature, the Ibizan Hound thrives in active environments.

The Ibizan Hound, also known as Podenco Ibicenco, is native to the Balearic Islands of Spain, particularly Ibiza.

The Ibizan Hound is typically found in Mediterranean climates characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. These conditions are prevalent in the Balearic Islands, where the landscape includes rocky terrains, scrubby vegetation, and open fields.

Ibizan Hounds thrive in environments where they can use their keen sense of sight and hearing for hunting. They are traditionally used in the Balearic Islands for hunting small game, such as rabbits, and are well adapted to the uneven, rugged terrain of the Mediterranean countryside. Their lean and agile physique makes them particularly suited for navigating the rocky landscapes and dense vegetation of their native region.
