Description
The Sabueso Español is a scent hound with an independent spirit, often described as having "sticky paws" when it comes to following an interesting smell. While they possess an endearing gentleness with their families, their focus can quickly shift to the ground beneath their nose, making them excellent, if sometimes distracted, companions. They thrive on exploration and have a surprisingly melodious bay that they enthusiastically share, especially if a promising scent trail crosses their path. Living with a Sabueso means embracing a dog whose heart truly belongs to the world of smells.
