BAYERISCHER GEBIRGSSCHWEISSHUND 

(Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound)

fci1.jpg

fci2.jpg

TRANSLATION:  C. Seidler, amendments Christina Bailey / Official language (DE).

ORIGIN: Germany.

DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE OFFICIAL VALID

STANDARD: 22.08.2017.

UTILIZATION: In accordance with the hunting requirements as a specialist for the search of hoofed game, the Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound has to show all the of him required abilities to be useful for the more difficult search.

This usefulness must be confirmed by the relevant working trials.

FCI-CLASSIFICATION:      Group   6  Scenthounds and related. Section 2    Leash (Scent) hounds.

With working trial, which take note of the relevant hunting requirements.           

BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: All Liam Hounds (Leithunde) and Leashhounds (Schweisshunde) are descended from the original hunting dogs, the "Bracken".  All pure "Bracken" have the finest nose for following ground scent and trail; they are firm on scent, have a strongly developed will to follow a trail and are readily giving tongue on scent.
Only the most reliable and perseverant Bracken were chosen from the pack to be used on the leash to search for the lost trail of the hunted game.  From those most calm and biddable Bracken, the Liam Hounds (Leithunde, working only on natural, cold scent) and the "Scent Hounds" (Schweisshunde, the so called "spoilt Liam Hounds", working the trial of wounded game) were later bred.
Through crossing of genetically fairly close breeds at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century, the present day Hanoverian Scenthound evolved. 
After the Revolution in 1848, in fact, after the break up of the large hunting estates and the replacement of the previous hunting methods by stalking and hiding (waiting for the game) and at the same time with the improvement of the firearms, the dog was needed "after the shot". 
Specialized in firmly working on the leash, one could not dispense with the loud chase, perseverance and keenness, especially in mountain regions.  There the Hanovarian Scenthound proved too heavy.
To achieve the desired accomplishments, even in difficult mountain territory, Baron Karg-Bebenburg, Reichenhall, bred the racy and ennobled lighter Mountain Scenthound after 1870, by crossing Hanovarian Scenthounds and red Mountain Scenthounds.  More and more these dogs ousted other breeds from the mountain regions so that the Bavarian Mountain Scenthound is, today, the classical companion for the professional hunter and gamekeeper.
In 1912 the Club for Bavarian Mountain Scenthounds was founded with its seat in Munich.  It is the only recognized Club for Bavarian Mountain Scenthounds in Germany.

UTILIZATION
: Tracking hound for wounded game, Scenthound.
In accordance with his hunting requirements as a highly
specialised huntingdog for the tracking of wounded game, the
Hannoverscher Schweißhund has to display all by the FCI
recognized Breed Club’s required hunting abilities, endurance,
potential the working trials and be useful for the more difficult
tracking of game.


FCI-CLASSIFICATION.: Group 6 Scenthounds and related breeds.
                                        Section 2 Scenthounds/Leash Hounds.With working trial.


BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: The Hannoverscher
Schweißhund has developed almost unchanged from the so called
«liam hound» (leash hound) of the early Middle Ages. The Liam
hound, from the breed section of the «Bracke», already played an
extraordinary part at the time of the establishment of clan rights of the
Germanic tribes (in about 500AD). With the invention of firearms, the
methods of hunting big game altered. Dogs were needed to search for
wounded game. The liam hound offered the best conditions for this
and so he became a « Liam-Scenthound ».
This breed description stayed in place until the hunting estate of
the Kingdom of Hannover got more involved with this breed The
Hanoverian hunting estate in the kingdom of Hannover developed
this breed further and preserved the proven methods of handling
these hounds.
The Deutsche Schweißhund developed into the Hannoversche
Schweißhund. Since 1894 the registered «Verein Hirschmann e.V.»
has been taking care of the breed, Since then the breeding of these
dogs has continued strictly with regard of their working ability and
the dogs are used exclusively in hunting grounds for big game as
specialists in tracking cloven-hoof game. The dissertation of Dr.
Wolf-Eberhardt Barth of the “Forstlichen Fakultät of the Georg-
August University in GÅ‘ttingen” about the subject “Der
Hannoversche Schweißhund as an example of the development of
the German Gundogs” (Magazines of the Landesjagdverbands
Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg e.V., Landesjägerschaft, Magazine
2, Hamburg 1970, 96 S) is the scientific base for the insight into the
history of this old gundog breed, which is correctly named German
culture asset (Deutscher Schweißhund).


GENERAL APPEARANCE: In general appearance the highly
efficient Hannoverscher Schweißhund is of medium size, well
proportioned and powerful. Well set strongly muscled fore and hind
limbs qualify him for tireless work. Too long legs, specially overbuilt
forequarters, affect his work with nose to ground and are foreign to his
type. The broad, deep chest provides ample room for the lungs and
enables long, strenuous chases.
The slightly wrinkled forehead and the clear dark eyes produce the
serious expression typical of the Hannoverscher Schweißhund. Also
typical for the breed is the red primary colour of the coat, which can
vary from a pale fawn colour to a dark brindle, almost black appearing
colouring.

and Ischl include Alpine Dachsbracken on his hunting trips to
Turkey and to Egypt. In 1932 the “Alpine- Erzgebirgs-
Dachsbracke” was recognized by the top canine organisations in
Austria as the third Scenthound breed. In 1975 the name was altered
to “Alpenländische Dachsbracke” and the F.C.I. declared Austria as
the country of origin. In 1991 the Alpenländische Dachsbracke was
included in Section 2 of Scenthounds in the FCI nomenclature.
