The Segugio dell’Appennino is an Italian breed of small scent hound, bred specifically to hunt hare. It may be either smooth-haired or wire-haired. It is one of four Italian breeds of scent hound, the others being the Segugio Italiano a Pelo Forte, the Segugio Italiano a Pelo Raso and the Segugio Maremmano. It received full recognition from the Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana in 2010, and was provisionally accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 2026.
