HISTORY ยซSPANISH HOUSEยป
Already in the fourteenth century, a dog of this breed was described by King Alfonso XI. But also other documents from this time referred to its existence.
Due to the increasing isolation in the Iberian Peninsula, the breed was kept completely pure and there were no crosses with other dog breeds.
Almost with all likelihood we are faced with a race descended from ยซCanis segusiusยซ, tracking dog used by Celtic peoples settled in central France.
The first description of peninsular hounds appears in the โBook of the Monterรญa of Alfonso XIโ, King of Castile, written during the second half of the s. XIV, that in his chapter 39 talk about "which doneness should be the hounds and the sabuesasโ.
Over the years the Spanish Hound went repeatedly hunting small game, like hares, rabbits or foxes. He often hunted together with other dogs in the pack.
It also, was used to recover the shooting game. But also in the police force he soon had a very important task.
Full of enthusiasm for action, this spunky breed of dog proved to be a tracking dog, that already chased many trails. Due to his enormous eagerness to work and his resistance, was able to help clear up all the cases and make his teachers proud.
Still used for those tasks, preferably in your home country, Spain.

The Spanish Hound he is a fearless hunter, eager and reliable, that nothing is lost so fast. Has an enormous need to move, who has to live regularly.
It is a minor hunting dog, which is also used for wild boar hunting, roe deer, the deer, the wolf or the bear, because in addition to being very skilled in the search, I have a determination out of the ordinary. He is also gifted with the trail of blood. Excels in hare hunting, in which he transmits to the hunter the development of the search with his voice modulations.
As a member of the family it is not very suitable, because the rhythm of life in a big city is not made for this active breed of dog. Under no circumstances do you want to be alone for hours every day.. Daily walks are mandatory with him.
He is friendly and loyal to his human being and at home he is quite calm. And you need this calm even if you have been in nature for many hours.
How do you want to find peace and quiet within the four walls of a home?, does not get along with young children. The over-excitement of children does not come at all well. But if your freedom is granted, he soon becomes a loving friend to them too. But there are certain limits!

Maintenance and care of the "Spanish hound"

If our Scent hound you don't have your usual workload, it may be that he destroys the furniture for lack of challenge.
A house with a large garden is an absolute must for this energetic hunter.. At the same time this aspect also relieves the owners, if our dog can let off steam regularly in the garden. Then he is already more relaxed and calm when he goes out for a walk, although he still has a lot of energy. Long walks are absolutely necessary for him.
Care:
His short coat does not require much care and his health is generally very good.
However, there must be a competent veterinarian who regularly deals with tick treatments, deworming, caring for teeth and claws, your anal glands and also from routine blood tests.

History
The first written traces of the German Hound date from the 18th century. German breeders wanted to create a versatile hunting dog., but it is very difficult to define precisely the ancestry of the breed. But, the German Hound was originally a descendant of Beagle, English Pointer and English Foxhound. Other breeds like greyhounds, the hounds, he "Westphalian Dachsbrackeยซ, go โHolzbracke de Sauerland tricolorโ (small hound for hunting in the forest) and local "Steinbracken" may have contributed to the breed.
Multipurpose hunting and hounds were booming in Germany at the time, after the dismantling of large hunting grounds and the abandonment of traditional hound hunting methods in favor of stalking and stalking.
Over the years, the German Hound has come to be known by a large number of regional variants under different names. The Deutscher Bracken Club was founded in Olpe (North Rhine-Westphalia) in 1896 and included all the varieties of the northwest of the country. In 1900, They were finally grouped into a single race called ยซDeutsche Brackeยป (German Hound).
But, was not up 1964 that was recognized by the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale (FCI). The standard currently in force dates from 1987.
Sometimes known as the "Braque d’Olpeยป (the city where one of the variants of the breed was found and where the Deutscher Bracken Club), the German Hound still a very popular hunting dog in his native region, and even in the rest of Germany. But, its distribution outside of Germany remains highly confidential.
That does not prevent it from being recognized by the American Kennel Club (A.K.C.) and the United Kennel Club (U.K.C.) in the United States, as well as by the Kennel Club (K.C.) From great britain.
The German Hound it is a light hunting dog, tall and elegant that, However, it is of solid construction. The head is noble and rather light, with medium-sized pendulous ears and a well-carried but relatively thick tail in relation to the line of the body. The abdomen is slightly folded.
The teething of the German Hound is particularly strong and regular, with powerful pointed incisors. The eyes, that are moderately large, they are clear and bright. The head, dry and moderately long, and relatively strong neck (compared to the head) follow each other to achieve a slightly arched top.
The coat is long, very dense and hard, and even covers the belly. It is tricolor: red or fawn, black and white. The saddle and / or coat must be black and well defined. The characteristic white markings of the breed are a continuous list on the muzzle., the neck (a totally white collar is particularly appreciated), chest and limbs. The tip of the tail is also white.
Character and skills
The German Hound He is a medium-sized dog that exudes a great joie de vivre. Attached and endowed with a stable character, is happy when put to work and has plenty of outdoor space. Being able to live in complete freedom in a large fenced garden is essential if your master is regularly away, since he likes to live outdoors and exercise. In fact, you need to vent at least two hours a day to be balanced. If you do not allow your partner to use your energy, the master has every chance of ending up with a stressed dog, overexcited, aggressive or even destructive.
It also, even if you have enough opportunities to exercise, the risk of the dog escaping is high with the German Hound, who especially appreciates sneaking out of his house as soon as he gets the chance, whether to explore new environments or follow tempting smells.
The German Hound not at all a suitable breed of dog for apartment living. And unless you have a very large garden – and even then… – it is also not a suitable breed of dog for an elderly or sedentary person. You need an active owner, even sporty, to provide you with the exercise and outings you need.
Nice to live, It can be both a companion dog and a hunting dog, since it is able to adapt to many situations. But, although they love to wander in every corner of the garden, his great passion is still hunting, in which they excel thanks to their particularly developed sense of smell. The German Hound it is above all a tough tracking dog that needs to work hard and work hard. They excel in the pursuit of uninjured game and in the pursuit of wounded prey.
Due to his cautious behavior in front of strangers and his ability to be attentive and alert in any situation, also can, occasionally and as long as it does not last too long (your joviality is likely to regain control), occasionally assume the role of watchdog.
But, whatever your activity at that time, can be easily distracted from your mission by a pleasant smell, in which case it becomes difficult to attract your attention again.
These hunting dogs are passionate about stalking their prey, but they are also very sensitive. They are very close to their family and are very loyal to them. So, should be handled with care and never intimidated, although sometimes they are on guard. Particularly loyal, faithful and sociable, the German Hound proves to be the ideal companion for the whole family, and gets along so well with adults – whose authority and leadership you seek – as with small children, who likes to have fun with. But, should not be left alone with young children, since their overwhelming energy could inadvertently push them, knock them down or knock them unconscious.
Although the German Hound is generally friendly and balanced, meeting other dogs can be a problem in some cases. Although the German Hound has long been accustomed to living with other dogs due to its long use in hunting in packs, some dogs still tend to be dominant, especially when it comes to unfamiliar animals. For this reason, any outing synonymous with a possible dog encounter involves keeping your partner on a leash.
Regarding cohabitation with other pets, especially a cat, it can be hard too. In fact, unless you got used to it too soon, that is to say, created together, tends to regard other animals as potential prey. In other words, not really a recommended dog breed with a cat…
Finally, the German Hound is a noisy dog รขโฌโนรขโฌโนwhose voice extends far. This is a characteristic common to all hunting dogs., since they must communicate with their master at a distance. But this might not be to the taste of the neighbors, who might complain about the dog's barking. It is important to pay attention to this point when training the puppy, to prevent his barking from becoming a problem once he is an adult.
ยซGerman Houndยป Education
Although it is soft, stable and very nice, the German Hound not an easy dog รขโฌโนรขโฌโนbreed to train and obedient. So, requires a strong and early education, but of course without any brutality, as this could only backfire. To get the best of your partner, it is necessary to combine sweetness and firmness, and put special emphasis on the socialization of the dog.
Last, if it is to be used as a hunting dog, learning how to call your dog back is obviously of particular importance.
In any case, training sessions should be short and interesting enough, since the German Hound it can be annoying, especially if tempting smells distract your attention.
For all these reasons, should be reserved for experienced teachers: not a suitable breed as a first dog.
Health ยซGerman Houndยป
The German Hound it is a fairly robust and resistant dog.

History
The Serbian tricolour hound (Srpski Trobojni Goniฤ or Trobojac) It is considered one of the rarest species that exist. This breed is one of the three types of dogs developed in the former Yugoslavia. Before the disintegration of Yugoslavia, The breed was known as the "Yugoslav Tricolor Hound", changing its name in 1991 after the dissolution of Yugoslavia.
In 1946 It was debated whether this race was independent or just a variety of the ยซSerbian houndยซ; finally given separate breed status and a first standard set. This breed was presented at the International Dog Show in Belgrade on 7 and 8 in June of 1950. The Serbian tricolour hound was recognized as a breed by the FCI the 25 in July of 1961 and the standard was published.
From the beginning, these dogs have been used as hunting companions. They are ruthless hunters of small game like foxes and rabbits. Due to his strength and fearless nature, they are also used to hunt wild boar, wild boars and other game animals. Unlike other Hounds that hunt on a leash, this breed can run freely and search for prey on its own. This independent hunter will never kneel in the face of difficult terrain. In search of prey, uses your excellent sense of smell, and with a penetrating voice will inform the hunter when he finds it.
Unfortunately, this persistent and tireless hunter is not known among hunting enthusiasts in other countries, so this rare breed is relatively unknown in other parts of the world.
All three Yugoslav dog breeds evolved from Phoenician merchant dogs and have almost identical characteristics, which is why they are often mistakenly identified as the same race. What distinguishes the Serbian tricolour hound of the other two races is the white mark on the chest, which emphasizes the striking print of dark red hair in the background and a black cloak.
The coat of the Serbian tricolour hound it is waterproof, short and bright. Slightly thick with a well developed undercoat, spreads well throughout the body. Both in the area of รขโฌโนรขโฌโนthe rear thigh and in the lower part of the tail the coat is slightly elongated.
The coat of the Serbian tricolour hound has a deep red or fox red background color, of which a saddle or black fur stands out. The black partly reaches the head of the dog and forms two dark marks on the temples. White forms a full or partial collar under or around the neck.
On the dog's head white is pronounced like a cutout. On the muzzle it can also be seen as a spread fire. If the dog has a white mark on its chest, this is permissible, although it extends to the end of the sternum and reaches both the belly and the interior of the hind limbs.
The tip of the tail can also be completely white. But, total white coat should be less than one third of total body. The Serbian tricolour hound also has medium length ears, high, found near the cheeks.
The height the male will of 45 to 55 cm and in the female of 44 to 54 cm., the weight of Serbian tricolour hound will of 20 to 25 kg.
The life expectancy of the Serbian tricolour hound, round the 12 years.
Character and aptitudes ยซSerbian tricolor houndยป
The breed is characterized by an intense temperament, always reliable and very loyal in his relationship with his pack. But, the Serbian tricolour hound also has a very friendly nature. On the one hand, dogs are suitable as watchdogs. On the other hand, can be used for dressage.
The Serbian tricolour hound is hard-working and optimally equipped to work even on difficult terrain. Due to its attentive and excellent eyes and its high performance, is an ideal hunting dog.
At home he behaves warmly and calmly. But, as soon as it is in working mode, is extremely energetic and very persistent.
If you get a Serbian tricolour hound, you will get a breed that will be a friendly and obedient companion dog. He always tries to please his owner. But, the prerequisite for this is that it is sufficiently busy when not used for hunting.

History
The Norwegian Hound was originally called Dunker, in honor of the Norwegian captain and breeder Wilhelm Conrad Dunker (1806-1860), who established the first breed standard in 1850. During the first half of the 19th century, there was a large population of hounds in norway, including various types used for hare hunting. Wilhelm Dunker selected those with the keenest sense of smell and crossed them with a Russian Harlequin Hound to produce a versatile hound, able to hunt rabbits and hares by smell rather than sight, and tough enough to withstand the harsh weather conditions of Norway.
In 1902 was founded the Norsk Harehundklub, a club dedicated to hounds. That same year the hounds were divided into two main groups, known today as Dunker y Hygenhounds. The first was the most numerous and included local dogs from all over the country., providing a wide and varied breeding base.
Although Norway was less affected by World War II than other European countries, the demand for these dogs dropped dramatically, which made it difficult for the breeders to continue their work properly. As a result, the number of specimens decreased significantly.
After the conflict is over, the Dunker regained some popularity and was officially recognized by the Fรฉdรฉration Cynologique Internationale (FCI) in 1956.
But, this bounce was only short lived: lost ground again from the decade of 1970, due to competition from foreign breeds of hunting dogs imported into the country.
Things did not improve much in the 80, to the point that inbreeding problems began to appear. In fact, the decline in its population led many breeders to resort to inbreeding to continue breeding. This led to a high rate of congenital deafness.. For this reason, in 1987, the breeding committee Norwegian Hound asked the Norsk Kennel Klubb (NKK), the reference canine organization in Norway, permission to cross the Dunker with other races, but they denied it. But, how things did not improve much, the NKK finally gave his approval for some crosses two years later. This resulted in a more varied and healthy genetic makeup, while maintaining the characteristic traits of the breed.
The United Kennel Club (UKC) recognized it in 1996. But, the other American reference organization, the American Kennel Club (AKC), has not done the same to this day – nor does the neighboring Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) or the prestigious British Kennel Club (KC). In fact, at the global level, recognition of the breed is still quite partial.
It's the same for broadcast. Even in the other Scandinavian countries, is almost absent, with the exception of Sweden, where the Svenska Kennelklubben records a number of births each year that can be counted on the fingers of one hand, compared to around twenty in the early nineties. In France, not a single entry was made in the Book of French Origins (LOF) during the first two decades of the 21st century.
In Norway, The number of Dunkers recorded each year in the NKK has been around 150 since the mid-decade 2000. But, this marks a halving of the number compared to the change in years 90. This limited number is partly explained by the deafness problem present in this breed.: almost the 75% of its population suffers from deafness.
The Norwegian Hound It is a medium-sized dog distinguished by its long, well-proportioned body, his energetic and clear walk and his light weight. They have solid bones, giving an impression of strength and endurance. The back is straight, firm and long enough to give length to the rib cage. Lets on strong, dry front legs. The tail is wide and thick at the base and tapers at the tip. Descends to the hock or slightly protrudes from the hock.
Dunker
Quite long, its head is characterized by a slightly domed skull and a marked stop. Located at half height, the ears are flat, without folds, hanging and soft to the touch. medium width, taper towards its tip, which is rounded. Its mouth has scissor-shaped teeth dominated by a square, well-developed snout., a black nose and wide nostrils.
His eyes are round, large and very penetrating. Although they are usually dark in color, there are also individuals with one or two blue eyes, a characteristic that is associated with an increased risk of deafness. Minnow eyes are allowed in blue individuals (variegated). Regardless of the color of the eyes, the eyes express calm and seriousness.
The coat of the Dunker consists of short hair, hard, tight and dense. Its coloration is a distinctive sign of the breed: they are either black with light fawn and white spots, or blue merle (ยฟbigarros?) and mottled with light fawn and white spots. Jet black coats with dark tawny markings are less desirable, and those in which white predominates (to the point of representing at least the 50% Of the surface) are considered undesirable by the norm.
Last, sexual dimorphism is not very marked in this breed: males and females are quite similar in size and weight.
Life expectancy: 12 years of age.
Size of Norwegian Hound
– female weight: Of 24 to 25 kg
– Male weight: Of 24 to 25 kg

Character and skills ยซNorwegian Hound (Dunker)ยป
The Norwegian Hound is a fast and tenacious hunter with an above-average olfactory ability. They excel particularly in hunting hare and rabbit.
Being also gentle, loving, cheerful and friendly, they have all the qualities required to be an excellent companion dog. balanced, patients, tolerant and devoid of aggressiveness, they are very good playmates for children. But, it is important to note that a dog should never be left alone with a small child without adult supervision, and this applies to all races.
His total lack of aggressiveness and his attraction to humans, even for those you don't know, make it totally impossible to use as a guard dog. In effect, not reserved at all, shy, fearful or aggressive with strangers, rather they tend to welcome them positively and trust them. They are more likely to greet a malicious person with curiosity and licking them rather than barking to warn their master or make them understand that they better go their way.
His sociability extends to other dogs too. So, it is quite possible to share a house with a dog companion without fearing that conflict situations will multiply, and is generally friendly with those he meets on his walks.
With cats and other animals, things are a little more complicated. His hunting instinct naturally leads him to chase any small furry animal that is not part of the canine species.. Although he has grown up with him and must consider his little companion as a member of the family and not as a potential prey, risk can never be ruled out, so it is better to avoid such cohabitation. As for those that can be found on your walks, you probably want to chase them. So, it is preferable to keep it on a leash during excursions, to avoid any accident.
Dunker
In any case, the fear that it will chase other animals does not mean that you should not take it out enough each day, knowing that you need a lot of activity to spend your great energy. Need at least 45 minutes of exercise per day, but his stamina makes him happy to go further if given the chance. It also, it is preferable to vary the pleasures to allow him to fully expend his energy: long walks, run through the park, sports with dogs, etc. Sports that require running (like canicross) and those that appeal to your senses (like tracking) they are the most recommended. In fact, this dog is very happy when he has to mobilize his physical and mental capacities. In any case, in addition to allowing you to exercise, all these activities reinforce the relationship with his master, which is especially important if you are hearing impaired.
From the above it follows that the Dunker not suitable for an elderly or very sedentary person, that I couldn't give you all the exercise you need. The ideal for him is a master of sport, and willing to take his partner in his various activities. Retirees may be right for him, if they are active enough.
In any case, life in the city is not ideal for him, that needs large spaces to fully develop. A house with a garden in the country is a much more appropriate environment to live in.. But, it is important to ensure that the garden is well fenced and that the environment is safe, as his instincts and hunting instincts soon lead him to follow leads and flee.
Once your need for exercise is satisfied, the Norwegian Hound has an easy and docile character; is far from being as stubborn as many hunting dog breeds. But, your sense of smell can make training difficult, as he is easily distracted by a scent and not really responsive to his master's commands.
Their propensity to bark can also be quite annoying. He is particularly prone to doing it if his master is away for a long time without having given him any exercise beforehand and without having the means to do it himself.. In fact, inactivity can be a burden and cause those behavior problems, as well as destruction, for example. But, as long as you have something to take care of in the absence of your family, not the type of dog that suffers a lot from separation anxiety.
Education ยซNorwegian Hound (Dunker)ยป
Like all the other hounds, the Norwegian Hound must be socialized from an early age. In other words, so that he becomes a balanced adult and has no trouble finding his place, should be given without delay a maximum of opportunities to meet all kinds of humans (veterinary, neighbors, delivery man, etc.), Other animals, but also to face various noises, smells and situations. This is even more important since he is easily distracted by his sense of smell..
The rules established in your education should also be taught to you from an early age, when your ability to learn and docility are at their best. As with any race, bad habits pick up quickly when he's still a puppy and become real problems when he gets older.
In any case, the Dunker it is a breed of dog that is easy to train and that listens to its master, as long as he uses a dog-friendly training method. Treatments generally prove to be very effective in positively reinforcing your good deeds and facilitating learning. But, sometimes it is necessary to show firmness and affirm your own authority to prevent this dogged dog from doing what he pleases. It can also be difficult to get their attention., given their tendency to be distracted by their sense of smell.
Since it has a strong inclination to follow its nose and to chase passing small animals, Teaching your dog to call back is especially important to avoid the risk of a frantic tug on the leash or running away if it moves freely.
It may also be helpful to try to teach him to channel his propensity to bark.. But, as it is deeply ingrained in him, should not be expected to be the calmest of dogs. If it is impossible to make him understand that some things do not necessarily require him to bark, at least he can be taught to stop on command.
Last, if the dog is deaf from birth, as is the case with a significant fraction of the representatives of the breed, the master must obviously adapt to this restriction: Training a deaf dog is not done in the same way as training another dog that is able to hear its master's voice.. Trust is then even more crucial in the relationship between the animal and its master., so that you can learn and live in good conditions despite your disability. Of course, communication is then done through non-verbal communication, and it's up to the teacher to adopt explicit body language, based on gestures and precise mimicry, specific for each indication you want to give.
Health ยซNorwegian Hound (Dunker)ยป
The Norwegian Hound is very resistant, generally have excellent health and very good longevity.
Used to living in harsh Norwegian weather, can tolerate cold and damp without difficulty. Their coat is naturally waterproof and offers good protection from the elements. On the other hand, shows some intolerance to high temperatures, even if it is able to adapt to a Mediterranean climate. You simply need to lighten up your activities during hot flashes, or at least privilege those that are carried out inside, to ensure that you always have access to a place in the shade or even air conditioning and to avoid any excessive physical exertion in the hottest hours.
Its small population and its limited diffusion prevent a very important deterioration of health, but it has been shown that it is predisposed to certain problems:
deafness, what is a hereditary disease. According to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), almost the 75% of the population of the breed is today deaf in at least one, if not both ears;
hip dysplasia, a joint malformation that may be characterized by a hereditary predisposition. It can cause joint pain as well as difficulty moving;
Elbow dysplasia, which can also be favored by a hereditary predisposition. It is painful and leads to difficulty moving and the development of osteoarthritis;
progressive retinal atrophy, a hereditary and incurable eye disease. Causes loss of night vision first, then loss of daytime vision, to the point that the dog becomes totally blind;
Demodecic scabies, a contagious parasitic disease that causes itching and true discomfort to the dog, gradually losing appetite and sleep;
ear infections (otitis, etc.), due to its hanging shape.
It also, individuals used for hunting are exposed to the various risks associated with this activity: wounds, parasites, thorns, etc.
It also, the Dunker has a strong appetite. How it is usually active, this is not usually a problem. But, if it is not, soon becomes overweight.
Given the hereditary conditions to which the breed is predisposed, the breeder's work plays a decisive role in the adoption of a Norwegian Hound that he is in perfect health and that he will probably remain so. In addition to the results of genetic tests performed on the parents and the puppy to reduce the risk of such diseases, every serious and responsible breeder must be able to present a certificate of good health established by a veterinarian, as well as documents related to the vaccines administered.
It also, when the dog is small and still growing, your bones and joints are particularly fragile: therefore, any excessively intense or prolonged physical exercise should be avoided, since I could pay it off one day or another, with potentially permanent sequelae (malformations, etc.).
Last, it is necessary to consult a veterinarian at least once a year to ensure that the dog is in good health or, on the other hand, to be able to detect as soon as possible any problem whose symptoms are not yet visible. This health check is also an opportunity to carry out your immunization reminders, which are another essential lever to keep the dog in good health. Still on the prevention registry, it is the owner's responsibility to renew the antiparasitic treatments whenever necessary throughout the year, so your partner is never unprotected.
Care and maintenance ยซNorwegian Houndยป
A tough breed, the Norwegian Hound do not require much maintenance.
But, they lose a lot of hair, so brushing your hair twice a week is not too much to help remove dead hairs and keep it in good condition. During their molting periods in spring and fall, when it should be done more often (even daily) to prevent hair growth throughout the house.
Since his hair is not very dirty and therefore does not have a strong odor, bathing him two or three times a year is generally sufficient. In any case, a too frequent bath will make the sebum naturally present on the skin disappear, insulates and protects it from the elements. Having said that, do not hesitate to give him a bath if he has gotten very dirty, for example during a particularly muddy hunting trip. In any case, you can only use a shampoo specially designed for dogs, at the risk of damaging your skin.
Dunker
The ears, on the other hand, require special attention, since its hanging shape implies an increased risk of infections (ear infections, etc.). They must be cleaned every week with a damp cloth or a cleaning product specially designed for this purpose.. They should also be dried after each bath or after a long period of time in a damp place..
Their eyes they must also be examined weekly and cleaned if necessary with a damp cloth.
It is also necessary to brush the teeth of your dog every week or even every day to avoid the formation of dental plaque and its possible consequences (bad breath, diseases, etc.). A toothpaste specially designed for dogs should always be used.
It also, it is important to regularly check your dog's claws to make sure they are not getting too long and to trim them if this is the case. This could not only hinder your walking, but you could also break and potentially injure yourself at the same time. Having said that, while you're active and spending long hours outdoors, natural wear and tear is usually enough to file them.
To know how to proceed during maintenance sessions, it is useful to benefit from the experience of a veterinarian or a groomer the first time. In fact, whether the various procedures for grooming the coat, the ears, the eyes, your pet's teeth or claws are not done properly, not only will satisfactory results not be obtained, but the owner may even injure or injure his pet. It also, the owner should get used to his pet very soon, so that throughout his life he accepts to be manipulated without being rebellious.
It also, when your pet returns from a long time in the wild, it is a good idea to systematically take a little time to inspect it carefully: parasites, spikes or dirt may have gotten into their fur, and may also have been injured.
What price does a โNorwegian Houndโ cost?
In Norway, a puppy Dunker It costs around 7000 Norwegian crowns (a few 650 EUR). The sale price varies from one individual to another depending on the prestige of the breeding, the lineage of the dog and its intrinsic characteristics.
Since the breed does not have a wide international distribution, it is almost impossible to find a breeder of it outside of its country of origin.
So, whether you are in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada or elsewhere, who wants to adopt a Norwegian Hound you must opt รขโฌโนรขโฌโนfor the import solution. In this case, keep in mind that transportation and administrative costs are added to the purchase price and, of course, you must respect the regulations to import a dog from abroad.
