If I want to breed Ibizan hounds only of the white short haired variety how would I go about sourcing this particular type to buy/breed from?

I looked at the breed and I'm not sure that the gene chart is complete.

I looked at Dachshunds and it looks like wire is dominant to smooth there so probably the same for Ibizans.

Generally more solid colour is dominant to more white and all white is generally the most recessive.

So you want to start with a smooth white if you can - this appears to be a recessive combination. Breed to white smooth if you can. If white smooth is not available, look for those that have white and/or smooth close up in their pedigrees to increase the chances that they carry the recessives you want.

Dogs for sale:
UKI Climate Change has a white wire sire who has a white smooth dam.

UKI Fortune Finder has a white smooth sire. This dog likely carries both recessive you want.

Check with Underground Inc (UKI) and ask if they have a nice smooth white girl they will sell you and go from there.

thankyou so much that is a lot of help

If you're still interested there are three or four breeders the most active and out of those I know two (me being one) are actively producing white short hairs. I have a couple litters coming up that I will likely have a few whites and then also I have some breeding stock I may consider selling if you are interested.
