About

What is a Polish Hound?

Medium-sized, strongly built scent hound with robust build and distinctive black and tan coat, bred for stamina and tracking large game in dense forests. Known for its powerful, melodious voice and calm yet alert temperament.

Polish Hound history and origins

Ancient Polish hunting breed dating back to the Middle Ages, with origins documented in 14th century literature. Developed by crossing local hounds with imported St. Hubert Hounds for tracking large game in forests. Colonel Józef Pawłusiewicz was instrumental in re-establishing the breed after World War II. Recognized by FCI as national breed of Poland.

Polish Hound appearance and size

Males typically weigh 25-32 kg and stand 56-66 cm at the shoulder; females 20-27 kg and 51-61 cm.

Lo que dice el estándar de la raza

Criado para
Scent Hound. In the past, the Polish Hounds were used mainly for hunting hares, foxes, roe deer, wild boar and during duck hunting, flushing wild ducks from rushes. Nowadays, since hunting hare with dogs is prohibited in Poland (except for mountain areas), Polish Hounds are used only for hunting wild boar and fox throughout the country
Comportamiento y temperamento
The Polish Hound, like all scent hounds, chase the game on the hot trail, with loud barking. The voice is lower pitched in the male and higher in the female. The barking is called “giving tongue” by hunters, and the loud game pursuit by the dogs is described as “the chase”. This outstanding hunting dog is also an excellent family dog, easy to maintain, devoted to the household and wary of strangers

Quoted from FCI standard n°52. It describes the breed the registry recognises, not any individual animal.

Lo que asumes

Nadie ha escrito todavía este lado. Es un juicio y no datos, así que espera a una persona — no a una fuente que falte.

Extraído de fuentes y no escrito como opinión — investigación de salud citada, el estándar del propio registro, y estudios de longevidad revisados por pares. Estándar de la raza, FCI. Los animales de un criador pueden diferir de todo esto, y una columna vacía significa que no tenemos nada de ese lado, no que no haya nada que decir.

Characteristics

Estándar de la FCI · Polish Hound

Tal como lo establece el estándar de la FCI. Cada línea de abajo está en las palabras del propio estándar, etiquetada con permissible.

Color

  • Preferred
  • Permissible
  • Undesirable
  • Disqualifying

«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» y «disqualifying» — preferido, admisible, indeseable y descalificante — son las palabras de la propia FCI sobre la raza, y quedan en inglés porque así constan en el estándar. Describen lo que el estándar pide — no son una valoración de ningún perro concreto, ni nuestra.

Color de base

Dark saddle and tan

  • Black or dark grey hair forms a saddle, covering the whole nape, overlapping to back of head, covering back completely, both sides of body and top of tail.
  • Different shades of tan ranging from dark yellow to mahogany on head, especially above eyes, muzzle, ears, front of neck, shoulders, forechest, under belly, thighs, front and hind legs.

  • Permissible: Permissible amount of white: white blaze on head and nose bridge, white spot on chest, white on legs or on toes only, as well as white tip of tail

Resumido de FCI standard n°52 — cada etiqueta está en las palabras del propio estándar, con el veredicto pasado a la etiqueta de al lado. Lee la cláusula completa en la fuente.

Lo que el estándar penaliza

Aquello por lo que un juez resta puntos a la raza Polish Hound, y lo que la deja fuera del ring, en las palabras del propio registro. Esto describe el estándar de la raza — no es una lista de comprobación para el animal que tienes delante, y un animal de compañía con un defecto descalificante es un perro que no puede ir a exposición, no un perro enfermo.

Defectos descalificantes

Dejan al animal fuera del ring por completo.

Health guide

What to ask for in a Polish Hound

No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Polish Hound on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.

Puppies

No puppies listed right now

No Polish Hound breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
