I'm Mia S., the breeder behind Crowned Ibizan Hounds located in West Greenwich, RI. Crowned Ibizans was born from my love of Ibizans.

Q. & A. with Mia
Why did you start breeding?
When I got my first Ibizan in 2017, I fell head over heels for the breed. I became obsessed with Ibizans and this love eventually turned into me wanting to help preserve and further the breed. I take and follow the advice of my friends and mentors in the breed, who have been breeding much longer than I have, to try to produce healthy, happy, mentally sound, and physically capable dogs.
What makes your program special?
I health test my dogs accordingly to OFA's CHIC requirements to help ensure good health of my breeding prospects. I breed according to the written standard and strive to produce dogs with sound conformation that can succeed in the show ring. I also lure course with my Ibizans to preserve prey drive and the want to hunt. I socialize my puppies extensively so they can be well-rounded family pets.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
