The Bavarian Mountain Hound is also known as the Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound (this is what FCI's translation is, Bavarian Mountain Blood Dog ( which is the closest literal translation) and even sometimes miss represented by being called a bloodhound. A lot of the confusion about the name in English is that there are no go English translations of Gebirgsschweisshund. Its German name is Bayerische Gebirgsschweisshund. All Leash hounds are descended from the original hunting dogs of Germany known as Bracken. All pure Bracken dogs have the finest nose for following ground scent and trail. They have a well developed will to follow a difficult trail. The Bavarian Mountain Hounds ancestry can be traced to around 1870 when Baron Karg-Bebenburg successfully crossed the Hanoverian Bloodhound with the lighter Tyrolean Hound (Tiroler Bracke) to create a lighter blood tracking specialist. This created a more agile dog for the mountains of Bavaria. At first sight, it is similar in appearance to the Hanoverian Bloodhound, but is shorter and finer boned than the latter. The only recognized club for the Bavarian Mountain Hound was created in 1912 in Munich, Germany. |
