The Hellinikos Ichnilatis (Greek Harehound) is a highly athletic, intensely driven scenthound from Greece. Recognized by their striking black-and-tan coat, they were bred to hunt hare in brutal, rocky terrain. They possess exceptional stamina and a remarkably beautiful, deep baying voice.
This breed is a highly serious, intensely driven working dog. They are deeply loyal to their handler but are independent thinkers who do not respond to repetitive obedience drills. They require an incredibly active owner who can provide massive amounts of daily running. Their short, dense coat is highly weather-resistant and incredibly easy to care for.
