History
editThe breed was recognized by the Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana in 2009.[3] More than 6600 dogs were registered in that year, the highest number of registrations for any Italian breed.[4] In 2018 there were 5679 new registrations, of which over 90% were of smooth-haired dogs.[2]
It was provisionally accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 2018.[5]
In 2015 an analysis of microsatellite data found no significant genetic distance between the Segugio dell'Appennino and the Segugio Maremmano.[6]
Characteristics
editDogs stand between 48 and 54 cm at the withers, and weigh between 16 and 23 kg; bitches are about 2 cm shorter, and weigh approximately 3 kg less. The coat may be either smooth or rough; in colour it may be fawn, varying from pale fawn to a dark tan; black and tan; or brindle.[1]
