Summary
About Ibizan Hound
The Ibizan Hound is a tall, deer‑like hunting dog with huge upright ears, a lean athletic build, and smooth or wire coats in red and white. Sensitive and intelligent, it’s calm at home yet driven to chase, needs secure fencing, plenty of exercise, and gentle, positive training.
About German Spaniel (Wachtelhund)
Medium, robust German hunting spaniel built for dense cover, with a thick, weather‑resistant coat in brown or brown-white. Very loyal, often one-person focused yet family friendly. Highly energetic, driven working gundog that needs intensive exercise and meaningful tasks; still uncommon outside Germany.
