Segugio Italiano
The Segugio Italiano is either of two Italian breeds of dog of the scenthound family, either the Segugio italiano a pelo forte or the Segugio italiano a pelo raso. In 2009 the Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana registered 1740 of the wire-haired breed and 4500 of the short-haired.Characteristics
When seen from the side, the body of a Segugio Italiano is approximately square in shape – the body length is the same as the height at the withers. It may be any shade of fawn-coloured, or black and tan. Wire-haired dogs stand and weigh, bitches are about shorter and weigh on average less. The short-haired breed is approximately smaller, with weights in the same range.
