    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

    Deciding on a dog can be both exciting and perplexing. The one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's personality will reveal itself.

    Understanding why a breed was created, and the country and climate it originally came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and personality.

    Some breeds require much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also take some time to develop: the boxer's playful and extrovert nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

    The puppies of particular breeds could be very hard work in the early weeks but can make wonderful adult dogs.

    There are seven types of dogs:
    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog
    • Utility Dog
    • Hound dog
    • Terrier
    • Working dog
    • Pastoral


Ibizan Hound Temperament Personality

Ibizan Hound Information

The Ibizan should possess deer-like elegance and expression, and its movement should reflect these qualities. Its lithe build enables it to perform the double-suspension gallop with great speed, agility and endurance. It is a superb jumper, able to spring to great heights from a standstill. It is racy, slightly longer than tall. With the exception of its large ears, it should not be exaggerated in any way. The trot is light and graceful. The coat can be hard, either short or wire — the latter should be from 1 to 3 inches in length.

The graceful Ibizan hound retains great hunting instinct, using its acute senses of hearing and smell to locate small animals, and relishing the opportunity to chase anything that moves. Unlike most sighthounds, it barks when chasing. It is reserved with strangers; some can be timid. It is gentle, mild-mannered, even-tempered and loyal, and makes a quiet, trustworthy house pet.
