Are Andalusian Hound Dogs Aggressive To Strangers

    When it comes to selecting a pet dog, you probably want one that is friendly, whether that's toward people, other pets, or both. In short, a happy-go-lucky pooch that gets along with everyone.

    While most dogs are absolutely fond of people, some are really sociable and love to meet new people all the time. Friendliness doesn't necessarily depend upon breed. The majority of dogs are friendly if they have been exposed to new people, places, and adventures as they were growing up.

    So, generally, you can make any dog into a friendly dog if you ensure they have an energetic social life and a happy home. Almost all pet dogs will be social with their owners, but some breeds were bred as guardians and can be wary and even hostile toward strangers.

Andalusian Hound Information

As in the Portuguese Podengo, the Andalusian Hound comes in three sizes (large, medium and small) and with three types of coat (wire-haired, long-haired and smooth). This combination of factors can results in nine different varieties. There is also a dwarf or basset variety derived from a medium-sized short-haired Andalusian Hound — called Maneto from its short, stout legs — which the RSCE has provisionally accepted as a distinct breed.

Andalusian Podencos, like other hounds, have excellent sight, hearing and smell, which makes them good hunters, often employed for hunting rabbits. Andalusians and mastiffs form the heart of the rehalas (teams of 20 to 24 hunting dogs) of central and southern parts of the Iberian Peninsula; medium and smaller dogs search out deer or wild boar, whilst the larger hounds are used for attacking the prey. One of the most typical functions of the large Andalusian hound was that of the so-called quitaor accompanying the Spanish greyhound colleras during hare hunting. The quitaor‘s job consisted primarily of flushing out the hares from their home or hiding place and killing them; then, together with the greyhounds, retrieving them for the owner. In Andalusian farmhouses the larger hounds were used as watchdogs, and the smaller hounds were used to kill rodents.
