Italian Short-haired Hound

Resistant, swift, enduring, full of ardor, independent, gentle and not very demonstrative, he can sometimes show a certain aggressiveness but he remains, in family, very gentle.

The Italian Short-haired Hound should be trained and socialized very early.

Endowed with a remarkable nose and a powerful, strong voice, he is a remarkable hunting dog. Adapted to the most difficult terrain, he is tenacious and his stamina allows him to hunt for a very long time without ever tiring. He hunts alone or in packs and can adapt very easily.

Rather independent and not very demonstrative, he is nevertheless gentle to all members of the family. Even if he is sometimes aggressive, he is not aggressive towards the members of his family and remains a very sociable dog.

His education must be done from a young age in order to limit his natural aggressiveness caused by his great shyness. This dog, which is very popular in his country, is a remarkable companion, but must be given a firm education.

He can live just about anywhere, indoors or outdoors, but his need for exercise and his passion for hunting must be satisfied on a regular basis.
