Litters

Ibizan Hounds are consistently one of the fewest-registered breeds in the AKC due to a relatively small and responsible community of preservation breeders who do not produce many litters each year. Because of this, you should be prepared to do your homework, speak with reputable breeders and ask to be placed on a reservation list for a future litter. Do not be discouraged if there are not puppies available when you first contact a breeder as most have several reservations before they even breed a litter. Abbaio Ibizan Hounds produces an average of 1-2 litters per year out of health-tested and titled parents with sound temperaments.

This litter was born on May 1, 2024. Fenix was a solid male that was well below the maximum height standard. His proper proportions were accented by very nice shoulder layback and moderate rear angles. He finished his AKC championship owner-handled with three majors, two of which were during the 2012 IHCUS Western Regional Specialty weekend. He was a field champion in both AKC and ASFA with 5 Best in Field wins which qualified him for the IHCUS Hall of Fame. His greatest asset was his absolutely stellar temperament which won me over the moment I met him. He has produced 3 wonderful litters with different bloodlines and I am excited for what he will contribute to Abbaio! Clarice is just above the top of the height standard for bitches, but carries it well with proper bone and substance. She has a lovely head, neck and topline as well as balanced angles and good tail carriage. She finished her championship at 8 months old, winning a Best of Breed over multiple specials along the way. She made quick work of her grand championship, earning multiple group placements on her journey, and was Select the only day she was entered during the 2021 IHCUS National Specialty weekend. She earned her AKC field championship in very few trials. She is a very funny and personable dog who you can't help but love! Puppies are smooth-coated, mostly red with various white markings. There may be males available for show/performance/pet homes. Please contact me for more information! E-mail Sarah

Health Testing

Abbaio is committed to the health of our dogs and puppies. Abbaio has produced more OFA CHIC Ibizan Hounds than any other breeder. Breeding dogs are tested for hearing (BAER), vision (OFA CAER), hips (OFA or Penn Hip), thyroid (OFA) and cardiac (OFA). Most results are available to be viewed in the public database at ofa.org, though I do often submit hearing, vision and cardiac testing in batches so they may not be viewable right away. Many or all of these tests are often performed on dogs I have bred but do not plan to use in my breeding program in order to have more information about the entire family. BAER hearing testing is performed on my puppies before they go to their new homes, as well as at least 1 physical and cardiac exam by my veterinarian.
