The Istarski Ostrodlaki Gonic is a breed of dog developed in the mid-1800s for hunting fox and rabbit. It is a rough-coated scent hound still kept primarily as a hunting dog rather than as a pet.

Appearance: Dogs of this breed can vary considerably in size, as the dog is still bred primarily for hunting, so more emphasis might be placed on performance than on specific appearance requirements. It can range from 25 to 56 lb (16 to 26 kg) and stand 17 to 23 inches (44 to 58 cm) at the withers.

The breed's wiry coat is weather resistant for hunting. The topcoat is 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) long and it has a woolly undercoat. The color is white with yellow or orange markings, usually on the ears. The ears are broad and hang flat.

Temperament: Again, because the Ostrodlaki Gonic has been bred primarily for hunting rather than as a companion, it tends to be willful and hence more challenging to train than many other breeds.

History: Slovenian breeders created the Ostrodlaki Gonic in the mid-1800s by crossing the French Griffon Vendeén with the Istarski Kratkodlaki Gonic, a smooth-haired hound developed from both sight hounds and scent hounds.

The breed first took part in a conformation show in Vienna in 1866. The dog is still used for hunting fox, rabbits, hare, and wild boar.
