Istrian Short-Haired Hound
Like its wire-haired sibling, this Croatian is easy to train and good natured, forming a good attachment to its master, with who it shares a passion for the hunt.
About the Istrian Short-Haired Hound
Istrian Short-Haired Hound are awesome scenthounds, specialised in hares and foxes, but they also have outstanding instincts as a leash hound. They are wonderfully suited to the vast openness of Istria, whence they hail.
These noble-looking scenthounds have a snow white coat broken by lemon-orange markings, a fine, smooth coat and a clean, long, narrow head. The ears may also be speckled with orange markings.
