Temperamento
The Spanish Hound is known for its friendly and sociable nature, making it a great family companion. They are intelligent and independent, yet they form strong bonds with their families and are protective when needed. This breed has a high energy level, requiring regular exercise and mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. With proper training, they can be both playful and well-mannered, thriving in active households.
Consideraciones de Salud
The Spanish Hound is generally a healthy breed but, like many large dogs, it can be prone to certain genetic or breed-related conditions. Common health concerns include hip dysplasia, which can affect mobility as the dog ages, and ear infections due to their long, floppy ears that can trap moisture and debris. Regular ear cleaning and check-ups are essential to prevent infections. Additionally, this breed may be susceptible to bloat (gastric torsion), a life-threatening condition that requires immediate veterinary attention. Feeding them smaller, frequent meals and avoiding vigorous exercise right after eating can help reduce the risk. The average lifespan of a Spanish Hound is approximately 10-12 years. Routine veterinary care, vaccinations, and screenings for joint health are vital to ensure their overall well-being.
