A medium sized, swift, very agile dog, Greek Hounds are highly spirited and lovable. Brave, outgoing, intelligent, they make avid but not vicious hunters. Its short, thick, coarse coat is predominantly black and tan. It carries a medium length tail straight or slightly curved upward. Its tapering head is long with large dark eyes, tight eyelids, black nose and flat round hanging ears. It is also called Hellenikos Ichnilatis, Hellenic Hound, or Greek Harehound.
