Posavatz Hound

Posavatz, the scent hound from the Save Valley, is an old hound breed, which descends from a type of the "Illyrischen Hound of Red Color with markings." Docile, very attached to their owner, and good-natured, Posavatz Hounds are reasonably lively dogs that love to hunt.

They are very hardy scent hounds that specialize in hares and foxes, although they can also be used as bloodhounds. Their robust build makes them very well suited to the dense underbrush of the Sava river basin.
