Tips on Grooming Your Ibizan Hound

    Moderate Maintenance: The Ibizan has a short, smooth coat or a wirehaired coat. In both cases, he is a neat dog who tends to clean himself pretty thoroughly. Nonetheless, he still requires some grooming assistance.

    Why Brush or Groom Your Ibizan Hound Dog?

    Grooming and combing your dog's hair coat is an important component of general pet care. Combing assists to keep your Ibizan Hound dog's coat in good condition by eliminating loose hair and avoiding hair mats/knots.

    Brushing also helps to spread healthy natural skin oils over the hair shaft, ensuring a gleaming coat and helping dust to slide off the hair. This can also help to minimize the need to bath and therefore decrease the frequency of bathing.

    Brushing and grooming of your Ibizan Hound dog are tasks that help to reinforce the positive relationship bond between your dog and you. Brushing should be a pleasant and relaxed experience for your pet and you.

    How Often to Groom Your Ibizan Hound

    How frequent to brush and groom your dog will depend on each personal dog. Dogs tend to contrast in their need for brushing because of their coat type and length and also depending on their more recent activities.

    Dogs with short coats generally require less brushing and grooming compared to dogs with medium to long haired coats as these longer coats can get tangles, mats and debris trapped in them more quickly.

    Some very short-haired canines may not need conventional 'brushing' and for these dogs, owners may instead like to try a soft grooming glove to delicately remove loose hair, occasionally.

    Dogs should be brushed 'as needed'. Owners should monitor the condition of their dog's coat, looking for any tangles/mats or dullness which suggests they might need a brush. Grooming can take anything from a few minutes to a number of hours a week depending on your type of dog.

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.
