Segugio Maremmano.
FCI 361 utilization: scenthound mostly used in wild boar hunting; also good to hunt hare and other mammals. FCI history: created by Tuscan wild boar hunters from the unregistered hunting dog population of the Maremma (southern Tuscany), adapted to boar and the biotope of that area. FCI temperament: specialized in wild boar; high hunting drive and strong temperament; pleasing voice well differentiated by hunting phase; self-confident and easy-going near the prey; excellent, careful and self-confident barker when the prey is found; a strong chaser; an excellent hunter alone or as a pack member. Wikipedia EN: mainly used for wild boar, also hare and other mammals; from the coastal plains of the Maremma. Wikipedia IT: a dog of very variable appearance, selected only for strength and ability as a hunter, not for looks..
Breed sets the odds. The parents set the dog. Every number here shows its source, its spread and how sure we are. Nothing on this page is a prediction about one dog.
The body
What the breed is built like. Registry standards give an ideal, not a range.
Height at the shoulder
FCI prints no ideal, so no center. Low and high span FCI and Wikipedia IT.
Weight
FCI prints no ideal. Low and high span FCI and Wikipedia IT.
Coat
FCI describes sizes once for both coats, so no lines. Wikipedia EN's 90 percent smooth figure is for 2018 registrations.
Heat tolerance
Derived from the coat description (short dense coat = 4). The rough variety is denser. No measured data.
The dog at home
What the breed asks of a day. The first thing most homes get wrong.
Energy
Wikipedia EN and IT disagree on the 2009 rank (highest vs third); both stand. No temperament study read.
The work
What it was built to do in the field, and what a test or trial asks of it.
Role
FCI-provisional breed. Editorial views are shown beside the standard, labelled (Chad, Oct 8 2026). Wikipedia EN restates the FCI utilization line; the Italian article's 'selected for ability, not looks' is editorial.
Primary game
Both registry and editorial sources agree.
Also used on
FCI names no other species.
Search pattern
The SIPS trial list is for scenthounds generally; no page read ties the pack brevet to this breed specifically.
Field trial standard
Trial rules not read (ENCI blocked). Look at ENCI regolamento speciale delle prove di lavoro.
