About

What is a German Hound?

Medium-sized scent hound with athletic build and tricolor short coat, bred for hunting in packs with elegant, resilient structure and muscular build

German Hound history and origins

The German Hound (Deutsche Bracke) was developed in the Westphalia region of Germany from various local Bracke types for hunting wild boar and deer. The official breed standard was established in 1900 after breed clubs merged in 1896 to unify the type.

German Hound appearance and size

Males typically stand 48-53 cm at the shoulder and females 46-51 cm.

German Hound temperament and personality

Generally described as intelligent, loyal, energetic, calm and confident.

That is the breed in general, not a promise about one animal. Ask the breeder what their own line is like, and meet the parents before you decide.

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; The Dog API. 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.

Health guide

What to ask for in a German Hound

No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the German 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 German 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.
