| Notes |
| |
The Hanover Hound is a
breed of
dog sometimes referred to as a
Hanoverian Hound. It is a
hunting and
tracking dog descended from bloodhounds of medieval times, and is uncommon
today.
Appearance
These short-haired dogs range in colour from light to dark reddish fawn with
a brindled appearance. They may also have a mask. Overall, the Hanoverian Hound
is sturdily built with a large head, strong jaws and a deep chest. Their weight
ranges from 36-45 kg (80-99 lbs). Males range in size from 50-55 cm (19-22
inches) while females are slightly smaller, about 48-53 cm (18-21 inches).
Temperament
Like any working
dog, the Hanover Hound fares best living in an area where he can get lots of
exercise and would not be ideal for city living. They are calm and loyal, but
described as persistent and single-minded when tracking.
