I've never met an Ibizan Hound and would like some input from those of you that have!
I've recently fallen in love with the breed. They seem like the great breed on paper, but every single thing written about them says the exact same things.
The things I want in a dog:
FRIENDLY. I need a dog that can (theoretically) hang out in a funeral home all day with all sorts of different people without being too needy or pushy for attention.
Good living with other dogs. I will always have multiple dogs.
Playful/Goofy/Not too serious about life. Good play drive.
I want a sport dog. Definitely a dog to do agility with and I'd love to get into flyball, rally/obedience, frisbee, tracking, etc. If I got a Beezer I'd definitely be interested in trying Lure Coursing.
I like to train tricks and things, so I like dogs that are willing to learn and play the game. But not blindly obedient.
A dog that plays ball/likes to swim is a plus, but not necessarily needed
I'm up for any amount of exercise. I enjoy biking, hiking, rollerblading and running with my dog.
Do you think a Beezer would be a good fit for me? Or should I look totally elsewhere? I did find a breeder online close to me that I've tried to contact to meet her dogs, but haven't heard anything back.
