Since the early days of the human community, the dog was a man of faithful companion and helper in hunting. FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale) as a professional organization that divides dogs into 10 groups, the Istrian hound is classified into VI group. The first standard of the Istrian short-haired FCI was published on April 2, 1955, and the standard for the Istrian scoundrel was published on April 6, 1955. However, on the persistent insistence of the Croatian Cynological Association, the FCI acknowledged as a Croatian dog breed at the General Assembly held on May 30, 1999 of the Istrian short-haired and Istrian scoundrel. The great merit of recognizing the Istrian hound as a Croatian autochthonous dog breed can certainly be attributed to the Bosnian bishop Peter Bakić, who in his manuscripts from 1719 described in detail the Istrian short-haired hound. The Istrian shorthair hound is a dog of noble appearance, medium size, elegant and slim body. The hair in this dog is fine, snowy white with characteristic orange spots on the head and the rest of the body. These dogs have a very lively temperament, and do not show signs of aggression and frivolousness. They are the same among hunters because they are easily trained in hunting training. Voting is characterized by a strong voice with pronounced depth. The difference between the Istrian shorthaired and sharp-eared hound is that the hoofed hound has a distinct sharp hair that makes this variant more robust and is more suitable for hunting in mountainous cold areas.
