Introduction
Segugio Italiano is an old Italian dog breed. These scenthounds resemble dogs found in artwork from Italian Renaissance.
Although not much is known about the history of these dogs, it is believed that in earlier times, they were primarily used for hunting wild boars, hares and other large games.
However, later, when popularity of hunting dogs reduced, these dogs greatly declined in number. Fortunately, during the early 20th century, sincere efforts by certain Italian breeders helped revive the breed.
