About

What is a Hygen Hound?

Medium-sized, strong and compact Norwegian scenthound with lean athletic build, developed for endurance in rough terrain and known for excellent tracking abilities and affectionate nature with family

Hygen Hound history and origins

Developed in the 19th century by Norwegian breeder Hans Fredrik Hygen, created by crossing German Holsteiner hounds with local Norwegian scent hounds and other Scandinavian breeds like the Småland Hound to produce a resilient hound for hunting in challenging Arctic terrain. Recognized by the FCI as a Norwegian scent hound.

Hygen Hound appearance and size

Males typically stand 48-58 cm at the shoulder and females 46-55 cm.

Hygen Hound temperament and personality

Generally described as energetic, intelligent, independent, alert, affectionate and loyal.

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.

Pros & cons

Pros y contras de la raza Hygen Hound

Lo que obtienes con la raza Hygen Hound

  • Función declarada en el estándar: «Scenthound»
  • Descrito habitualmente como: «Energetic, intelligent, independent, alert»

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; 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.

Characteristics

Estándar de la FCI · Hygen Hound

Pelo y color

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

Coat

Straight and preferably somewhat rough to the touch, dense, shiny and not too short.

The back of the thighs and the tail may be somewhat more heavily coated, but not too much

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.

  • • Red-brown or yellow-red, often with black shading on head, back and tail set, with or without white markings. • Black and tan, usually combined with white markings. • White with red-brown or yellow-red patches and ticks, or with black and tan markings.
  • The different colours should be clearly defined from each other

Health guide

What to ask for in a Hygen Hound

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