More details about the Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound

Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound: Origins and history

The Bavarian Mountain Hound was developed from the ancient scent hounds of the middle ages. The modern version of the Mountain Hound became especially popular in Germany during the early 20th century. Although they're capable of tracking pretty much anything, they're primarily used to trail big game wounded by hunters. These dogs can pick up on the slightest scent of blood and can track it for hours on end over huge distances. It's still very much a working dog, although it is gaining a well-deserved reputation as a domestic pet in its native Germany. Extremely rare throughout the rest of Europe.
