Ibizan Hound versus Pomchi: Overview

A very important difference between the Ibizan Hound and the Pomchi is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Ibizan Hound is a medium-sized dog while the Pomchi is a tiny-sized dog.

Furthermore, the Ibizan Hound belongs to the Hound Dogs group. Hound Dogs were bred to pursue and hunt warm-blooded animals. Hounds hunt by using their good sight or their good sense of smell.

When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets
