The Segugio Italiano [seˈɡudʒo itaˈljano] is either of two Italian breeds of dog of the scenthound family, either the Segugio italiano a pelo forte (wirehaired)[1] or the Segugio italiano a pelo raso (shorthaired).[2] In 2009 the Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana registered 1740 of the wirehaired breed and 4500 of the shorthaired.[3]

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 52–60 cm and weigh 20–28 kg, bitches are about 2 cm shorter and weigh on average 2 kg less.[1] The short-haired breed is approximately 2 cm smaller, with weights in the same range.[2]
