The breed is extremely adaptable to training and it easily adapts to an active family with an interest in spending a a lot of time in nature. The breed is generally friendly to everything and everyone, both dogs and humans, which makes it a very social dog. With the above mentioned factors in mind, the breed can be a really good family dog, as it is very uncomplicated to deal with. The breed clearly has some preferences, which is as follows: The breed is mostly very calm indoors, but it requires space to unfold when it is outdoors. It also prefers that there is daily access to a forest and field, which it can really go out and explore. The breed therefore needs a lot of exercise, stimulating employment and a good social life with its family and other breeds.
The breed is of Italian origin, which could sound like a possible cross between Molossus and Greyhounds brought by Phoenician traders in its time. It is one of the oldest standing hunting dog breeds ever. It has been known for a few thousand years and gained great popularity in the Renaissance in the 14th century. Since then, the breed has not changed much in either appearance or usability. It is still common in the home country where it is kept almost exclusively as a hunting dog, and from here it has spread to many other countries. The breed can grow up to 67 cm above its shoulder with a weight of about 40 kg. Thus, the breed is a fairly large dog with a good and gentle mind that most people can handle.
The breed's hunting desire is very pronounced and well developed, but it is not as fast as the British and German chicken dogs, as hunting dogs can also be otherwise. The breed scans the terrain in trot, where the others gallop, and therefore it is not as fast. The breed is hardy, enduring and suitable for all types of hunting, and it likes to work independently, but maintains good contact with its owner throughout.
The coat of the breed is short, dense and shiny. A daily wipe with a wet washcloth removes the loose hair, which otherwise has an annoying and stinging ability to drill vertically into carpets and furniture, which can be quite annoying for owners. The very large, thin and folded ears must be kept clean to avoid infection, which can be a great inconvenience to the dog.
The breed is very intelligent and responds well to training. Furthermore, it is cooperative, teachable and easy to raise. In short, the breed is extremely uncomplicated and a really good family dog ​​for the family who lives an active life. It is a good idea to change the training environment often and include plenty of rewards for a job well done. The breed is happy to retrieve and it could definitely be an obvious activity for the dog. It is important to be kind and consistent with the breed, and have some clear guidelines for it to follow.
