The Erbi Txakurra is a Spanish breed of scenthound. It originates in the provinces of Álava and Bizkaia in the Basque Autonomous Community in northern Spain. It is one of five Basque breeds of dog, the others being the Basque Shepherd Dog, the Pachón de Vitoria, the Villano de Las Encartaciones and the Villanuco de Las Encartaciones,[1][2] and is one of fourteen animal breeds native to the Paîs Vasco.[3] It was traditionally used for hunting hare, but since the hare became scarce in the Basque country it is more frequently used to hunt wild boar, roe deer or occasionally foxes.
It is critically endangered: in 2009 there were fewer than fifty examples.[4]: 534
