Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound - Breed Facts & Characteristics

Bavarian Mountain Scent Hounds are calm, well balanced dogs that develop a strong relationship with their owners, while remaining aloof with strangers. All tracking and leash hounds are descended from primitive hunting dogs or Bracke.

These purebreds have a piercing voice and a very well-developed sense of smell. Historically, the most dependable, persistent dogs were selected from the pack to be used on the lead to pick up the trail of wounded game.
