Summary
About Posavac Hound
Medium, athletic Croatian scent hound with a short red‑and‑white coat and gentle expression. Affectionate and family‑oriented, yet strongly driven to track game. Needs 1–2 hours of daily exercise plus mental work. Generally healthy but rare outside Croatia, so breeders can be hard to find.
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.
