dog of thescenthound family. It comes in both short-haired and wire-haired varieties. It is thought to be an ancient breed, descended in pre-Roman eras from progenitor scenthounds in ancient Egypt.The Segugio is a square dog, whose length should be equal to its height at the withers. It is fawn-coloured or black and tan. The dogs are 45–52 cmtall at the withers and roughly 20–23 kg in weight. Its determination to complete a scent is similar to that of a
Bloodhound but unlike theBloodhound the segugio is also interested in the capture and kill of its victimExternal links
