Italian Rough-haired Segugio

Origin: Italy

Also known as: Segugio Italiano a Pelo Forte

The Segugio Italiano a Pelo Forte or Italian Rough-haired Segugio is an Italian breed of wire-haired dog of scent hound type. It is one of two types of Segugio Italiano, the other being the short-haired Segugio Italiano a Pelo Raso, which – apart from the coat type – is closely similar but slightly smaller. Both are genetically close to the other two Italian scent hound breeds, the Segugio Maremmano and the Segugio dell'Appennino.
