Notes
Also recognised by the Continental Kennel Club.

The Drever is a short-legged European hunting hound also known as the "Swedish Dachsbracke". "Drev" is the Swedish word for "hunt". Most breeds with similar physical traits are bred for a single purpose, but the Drever has been bred to hunt both hares and roe deer, and is also used to hunt fox and red deer. Its body is just as large as the body of the common hunting hounds, but it has short legs. The maximum height of a Drever is 38cm, which is about 15cm (approx. 6") shorter than a normal-sized hunting hound.

The Drever has a lot of stamina, and has become a popular hunting hound for deer hunters in northern Norway and Sweden. Roe deer are nervous quarry, and the hounds which are used to hunt them must move slowly, especially in areas where you can expect heavy snow in late autumn. Thus, the breeding of a dog with a medium-sized body but short legs has a practical application.


This breed is usually kept as a hunting hound and is not usually found as a companion animal. The Drever is alert and self-possessed, has an affable, even temperament, and is rarely overly aggressive or shy. The Drever is relatively uncommon in North America but has been recognized in Canada since 1956.


Origin

The Drever is originally a Swedish breed which combined the German Dachsbracke with the beagle and is considered a scent hound. The first dogs were registered in Sweden in 1913. Like most scent hounds, the Basset Hound has long ears, large nasal passages, and a sturdy body for endurance. ...
