"Athletic and loyal"
The Colombian Fino Hound, also known as the Sabueso Fino Colombiano, is a breed of dog that originated in Colombia. It is a medium-sized hound with a sleek and agile build, used primarily for hunting small game such as rabbits and hares. The breed is known for its excellent sense of smell and its ability to track and chase prey through difficult terrain.
Colombian Fino Hounds are intelligent, independent, and loyal, but can also be stubborn and require firm training and socialization.
The Colombian Fino Hound has a short and smooth coat that is dense and shiny. The coat can come in a variety of colors, including white, black, brown, and brindle. Some Colombian Fino Hounds may have a black mask on their face. Despite their short coat, these dogs do shed and will require regular brushing to keep their coat in good condition and minimize shedding. They are generally considered low-maintenance in terms of grooming, as they do not require regular baths or haircuts.
As a result of their hunting heritage, Colombian Fino Hounds may have a strong prey drive and may not be suitable for households with small pets like cats or rabbits. They may also require a securely fenced yard to prevent them from chasing after small animals.
Colombian Fino Hounds are active dogs that require a lot of exercise to stay healthy and happy. They are best suited for owners who can provide them with plenty of outdoor activity, such as long walks, hikes, or runs. They may also enjoy participating in dog sports like agility or tracking.
