SPANISH HOUND - Popular Dog Breed

Complete Guide to the Spanish Hound

The Sabueso Español is a large, heavily built, and incredibly powerful scenthound from Spain. Bred to track wild boar and deer over vast, rugged terrain, they possess a stunning red-and-white coat, unparalleled stamina, and a remarkably beautiful, deep baying voice.

Temperament and Care

The Spanish Hound is deeply affectionate and wonderfully calm indoors, but intensely focused outdoors. Because they are bred to hunt, they cannot be trusted off-leash and require vigorous daily exercise. They are independent thinkers and notoriously stubborn. Their short, sleek coat is incredibly easy to care for, but their long ears require regular cleaning.

Is the Spanish Hound Right for You?

• Pros: Very calm indoors, deeply loyal, and very low grooming maintenance.
