[3]Background and human relationship
A longstanding Sicilian hunting dog, with similar dogs appearing in ancient local coins and depictions. Visual resemblance does not itself prove a continuous pedigree to those animals.
[1]Build and coat
Elegant and slender yet compact and robust, with large erect ears. It is distinct from Pharaoh and Ibizan Hounds despite their similar outlines.
[1]Colour and comparisons
Fawn in various depths and tan-and-white occur. White may appear on the head, chest, feet, tail tip and belly, providing distribution as well as shade comparisons.
