Content

This breed belongs to the group of hounds that spread throughout the Balkan territory. The hounds of Asia Minor are believed to have played an important role in its creation. The first description of this breed under the name "Balkan Hound" dates back to 1905 ; we owe it to Franz Laska, who described this breed among other hound dogs.

The first standard was written in 1924, but it wasn't until the Bled session of the 14 in May of 1940, that the F.C.I. adopted the standards already announced in Estol as in 1939, and among which was that of the "Balkan Hound". Since this is the most widespread breed in Serbia, it is the Yugoslav Cynological Association that controls its breeding and proceeds to the inscriptions in the official book of origins.

The 12 in November of 1996, during their meeting in Copenhagen, the General Committee of the F.C.I.. discussed the proposal accepted by the general assembly of the Yugoslav Cynological Association and accepted that the appellation "Balkan Hound" be replaced by Serbian hound.
