The Ca Eivissenco or “Podenco Ibicenco”, It is a breed canine Spanish Ibiza (Spain). It gets its name from the island Ibiza, belonging to the Group of islands in the Balearic Islands, bathed by the Mediterranean.

It is a type of primitive and rustic dog, considered one of the oldest breeds that exist and can be seen the tombs of the Pharaohs and museums whose first signs can be traced back to the 3.400 A.C.

The Ibizan Hound is one of the medium sized Greyhound, very similar to Pharaoh Hound. Without a doubt a descendant of the old Egypt dogs, that's what the written theories about race say..

The origin of this breed is Spain, comes from the island of Ibiza. The city of Ibiza was founded in the 654 A.C. by the Carthaginians and it is a conjecture establishes the possibility that the first settlers took with them their dogs of Egyptian origin for simple company and to hunt the rabbits that were abundant on the island.

But various genetic studies carried out in recent years have come to the conclusion that contrary to the widespread belief that the podenco is a type of primitive dog imported a few years ago 3.000 the area of middle years, These dogs actually have a close genetic relationship with the rest of the European hunting dogs and are no more "primitive" than most of them... The researcher Antoni Pedro Marí, details different aspects of the morphology, ethology and ecology of Ca Eivissenc in his work Native Races of the Pitiüses.

The weight varies between the 18 and 24 Kg, Depending on whether it's a male or a female, as well as if he is too well or poorly fed. With regard to the height of the dog there are also many disputes since fashion has at times imposed more slender and tall dogs that the found in the Pitiusas Islands.

The current standard is one height of between 66 and 72 cm., It is very far from reality and the first official standard. The dogs that are bred in Ibiza and Formentera are shorter than the maximum height allowed.
