klick to zoom

The Hanoverian Bloodhound is one of the oldest breeds. They are used mainly for the search of sick deer. Her extraordinary ability to find a one day old or even older trail of sick deer even a few miles, even in adverse weather conditions, make them a valuable help in the hunt. They are quiet in nature and require a lengthy education. The Hanoverian dog is a quiet dog who followed the trail of blood slowly but surely. They have a smooth, brown-yellow, brown or reddish-

brown coat. Note the full width tensioned ears, which lie close to the head. The usually dark to black hair on the muzzle, eyes and ears are the so-called mask. The lips are well developed and overhanging. He always has a dark to black nose. The eyes are dark to black. He usually wears his head low, a maximum level. The back is longer and usually built over moderately. The male is about 50-55 cm high, the female 45-50 cm.
