Perro Fino Colombiano

The Perro Fino Colombiano is a Colombian hunting dog developed from Spanish colonial stock — a light, agile dog used on small game and as a farm companion.

History

It descends from dogs brought to Colombia during the colonial period and was maintained by rural hunters rather than by a registry, which is why documentation is thin and the standard recent.

Temperament

The breed is known for being alert, energetic and attached to its household, friendly at home and businesslike in the field.

Care and training

It needs regular exercise and something to hunt or search for. The short coat needs almost nothing.

Health

Nothing is documented as specific to the breed; the population is small and little studied. These are patterns for the breed rather than a forecast for one dog; the measured facts are in the panel.
