The Ibizan Hound ( Spanish : podenco ibicenco , Catalan : ca eivissenc ) is a lean, agile dog of the hound family. There are two hair types of the breed : smooth and wire. The more commonly seen type is the smooth. Some consider there to be a third type, long, but the longhair is most likely a variation of the wire.
25-502: The Ibizan Hound is an elegant and agile breed, with an athletic and attractive outline and a ground-covering springy trot. Though graceful in appearance, it has good bone girth and is a rugged/hardy breed. Its large upright ears — a hallmark of the breed — are broad at the base and frame a long and elegant headpiece. The neck is long and lean. It has a unique front assembly with well laid-back shoulders and relatively straight upper arm. Coming in both smooth and wire-coated varieties, their coat

75-476: A great degree of discipline, obedience and co-operation. They should be extremely agile, have good speed and a powerful vertical jump from a stationary position in rough and often heavily covered ground. They should have excellent scent-tracking abilities, give tongue at the right time when approaching the game closely, and otherwise be silent so that they can locate the game by sound. In the United States,
100-452: A lot of daily exercise. They do not make good kennel dogs. Ibizan hounds are sweet, but they are very stubborn and independent. Ibizan Hounds are " escapologists ": they are able to jump incredible heights from a standstill, so they need very tall fences. They also have been known to climb, and many can escape from crates and can open baby gates and even locks. They have a strong prey drive , therefore they cannot be trusted off leash unless in
125-569: A multitude of examples of their problem-solving abilities. They are true "clowns" of the dog world, delighting in entertaining their people with their antics. Though somewhat independent and stubborn at times, they do take well to training if positive methods are used, but they will balk at punitive training methods. They are generally quiet but will alarm bark if necessary, so they make good watch dogs . They are sensitive hounds, and very good around children and other dogs alike. They generally make good house dogs but are active and athletic, therefore need
150-450: A safely enclosed area. Once off the leash, they might not come back for a long time. A hound that knows where its home is and the surrounding area will usually return unscathed. The Ibizan Hound is typical of the hound group in that it rarely suffers from hereditary illness. Minor health concerns for the breed include seizures and allergies ; very rarely, one will see axonal dystrophy , cataract , retinal dysplasia and deafness in
175-637: Is a combination of red and white with the nose, ears, eye rims, and pads of feet being a light tan color. Its eyes are a striking amber color and have an alert and intelligent expression. The Ibizan may range in height, from 22 to 29 in (56 to 74 cm) and weigh from 45 to 65 lb (20 to 29 kg), males being larger than females. Ibizan Hounds are intelligent, active, and engaging by nature. They rank 53rd in Stanley Coren 's book The Intelligence of Dogs , considered average working/obedience intelligence, but many Ibizan owners enjoy recounting
200-421: Is a fast dog that can hunt on all types of terrain, working by scent, sound and sight. Hunters run these dogs in mostly female packs, with perhaps a male or two, as the female is considered the better hunter. Traditionally a farmer may have one dog and a very well off farmer two dogs to catch rabbits for food. However, in the last twenty years it is seen as a sport where between five and fifteen dogs can be seen in
225-412: Is a pure chroma color, located on the color wheel midway between the colors of yellow and orange . The color name is derived from the material also known as amber , which is commonly found in a range of yellow-orange-brown-red colors; likewise, as a color, amber can refer to a range of yellow-orange colors. In English , the first recorded use of the term as a color name, rather than a reference to
250-457: Is determined to be even if it is divisible by two. When written in base 10, all multiples of 2 will end in 0 , 2, 4, 6, or 8 . 2 is the smallest and the only even prime number , and the first Ramanujan prime . It is also the 1st superior highly composite number , the 2nd highly composite number , and the 1st colossally abundant number . A digon is a polygon with two sides (or edges ) and two vertices .

The pronunciation /tuː/ , like that of who is due to the labialization of the vowel by the w , which then disappeared before the related sound. The successive stages of pronunciation for the Old English twā would thus be /twɑː/ , /twɔː/ , /twoː/ , /twuː/ , and finally /tuː/ . An integer

325-867: The Pharaoh Hound , the Cirneco dell'Etna , the Portuguese Podengo , and the Podenco Canario . The Ibizan Hound is the largest of these breeds, classified by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale as primitive types. This breed originates in the island of Ibiza and has been traditionally used in the Catalan -speaking areas of Spain, and France where it was known under the name of le charnigue , to hunt rabbits and other small game. The Ibizan Hound

The color box shown above is a desaturated approximation, produced by taking the centroid of
375-853: The Ibizan Hound is frequently competed in lure coursing through the AKC and ASFA, and also competes in LGRA straight racing and NOTRA oval track racing. Some parts of the country also use them for coursing live prey, generally jackrabbits. The Ibizan Hound breed is recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale, Continental Kennel Club, American Kennel Club , United Kennel Club , Kennel Club of Great Britain, Canadian Kennel Club , National Kennel Club, New Zealand Kennel Club , Australian National Kennel Council , America's Pet Registry, and American Canine Registry. It
400-422: The breed. Ibizan Hound owners should have their dogs' eyes tested by a veterinarian before breeding. CERF and BAER testing is recommended for the breed. Ibizan Hounds are sensitive to barbiturate anesthesia , and typically live between 12 and 14 years. DNA analysis indicates that the breed was formed recently from other breeds. The Ibizan Hound is similar in function and type to several breeds , such as
425-583: The center of the bottom line. In the Nagari script, the top line was written more like a curve connecting to the bottom line. In the Arabic Ghubar writing, the bottom line was completely vertical, and the digit looked like a dotless closing question mark. Restoring the bottom line to its original horizontal position, but keeping the top line as a curve that connects to the bottom line leads to our modern digit. In fonts with text figures , digit 2 usually
450-434: The chase of one rabbit. The Ibizan Hound authority Miquel Rosselló has provided a detailed description of a working trial which characterises their typical hunting technique and action, strikingly illustrated with action photos by Charles Camberoque which demonstrate hunt behaviour and typical hunt terrain. While local hunters will at times use one dog or a brace , and frequently packs of six to eight or as many as fifteen,
475-462: The modern Western world to represent the number 2 traces its roots back to the Indic Brahmic script , where "2" was written as two horizontal lines. The modern Chinese and Japanese languages (and Korean Hanja ) still use this method. The Gupta script rotated the two lines 45 degrees, making them diagonal. The top line was sometimes also shortened and had its bottom end curve towards
500-456: The past, the ECE amber definition was more restrictive than the SAE definition, but the current ECE definition is identical to the more permissive SAE standard. The SAE formally uses the term "yellow amber", though the color is most often referred to as "yellow". This is not the same as selective yellow , a color used in some fog lamps and headlamps . Previously, ECE amber was defined according to

600-434: The working trial requires an evaluation of one or two braces. A brace is called a colla . The couples should be tested on at least two to five rabbits (not hares), without the use of any other hunting aid. An inspection and evaluation of the exterior, fitness, character and obedience of the dogs is recommended prior to the hunt. The trial is qualified as having 5 parts. The dogs should show: (1) careful tracking and scenting of
625-474: Was fully recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1979. According to journalist Norman Lewis, when an owner no longer wants to own one of these dogs (having too much of an appetite, for instance), it is considered very bad luck to kill the dog. Instead, they release the dog on the other side of the island, so that someone else might 'adopt' the animal. Amber (color) The color amber
