History
Originally from Norway, the Halden Hound takes its name from Halden, the city where it was created.
Breed selection was initiated by Hans Larsen Bisseberg, an Ostfold County farmer, in 1860. The breed is believed to be the result of various crosses between local hounds and Swedish hounds, Germans and English. The official breed standard was established in the decade of 1950 and it is very rare outside of its country of origin. Most frequently used the Norwegian Hound and the Hygen Hound.
