Dog History

German Bracken hunting dogs were used by Germans in the 19th century to assist them in trailing wildlife. They were said to have a highly developed sense of smell, which aided hunters in tracking down odours and traces left by their victims. The Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound was developed from German Bracken.

The Hanoverian Scent hound was too huge and heavy for the terrain in Germany's hilly areas, where many hunters looked for game. The Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound was lighter, more nimble, and better suited to hunting big animals and prey.

The Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound was first recognised by the United Kennel Club (UKC) in 1996, but it took another 20 years for the American Kennel Club (AKC) to add the breed to its Foundation Stock Service in 2016.

In 2017, the Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound Society of America was founded to protect and promote this breed.

Despite their rarity, some have landed up in shelters or in the hands of rescue organisations. If you decide this is the breed for you, consider adopting.

Health and Care

The Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound is a rather healthy canine breed, however it is susceptible to the same diseases as other Hound breeds. While most are typically healthy, some may be prone to a few health problems, which is why proper care and frequent veterinarian visits are essential.

The following are some of the most prevalent health issues that Bavarian Mountain Scent Hounds face:

musculoskeletal issues like hip and elbow dysplasia

eye problems like progressive retinal atrophy and entropion

You should take your Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound to the vet on a regular basis, just like any other dog, to catch any health problems early. Your veterinarian can assist you in developing a care routine for your dog that will keep him healthy.

Despite its tremendous vitality, the Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound may acquire weight if not provided the proper exercise. As much as possible, make sure your dog gets at least one solid hour-long walk every day, with a couple nice, energetic play sessions and shorter walks thrown in for good measure.

Check their ears for dirt and vermin on a regular basis, and clean them according to your veterinarian's instructions. Once or twice a month, trim your dog's nails before they become too long. They shouldn't be slamming into the ground. Your barber can help with this.

Dog Breed Care Tips and Important Instructions

Physical activity is necessary for Bavarian Mountain Hounds to stay in shape, stimulate their brains, and maintain excellent health. Bavarian mountain hounds benefit from daily activity because it helps them avoid boredom, which can lead to bad behaviour. Most of your bavarian mountain hound's instinctive needs to pursue, retrieve, chew, dig, and herd may be satisfied with a little fun and games. Your bavarian mountain hound's activity requirements may vary depending on his or her age and health, but ten minutes in the backyard and a couple of daily walks around the block are unlikely to suffice. If your Bavarian mountain hound is a teenager between the ages of six and eighteen months, her needs will most likely be higher.

Brushing your Bavarian mountain dog on a regular basis can help keep him clean and prevent shedding. During the summer or other warm weather, check for ticks and fleas on a daily basis. The majority of Bavarian mountain hounds only need to be washed a few times a year. Comb or clip off any mats from the coat of the Bavarian mountain dog before bathing. Rinse the coat thoroughly to remove any soap residue; otherwise, dirt will adhere to the soap residue.

Adults are definitely more difficult to handle than puppies. Put one of your hands beneath your dog's chest, either with the forearm or the other hand supporting her hind legs and rump, when carrying the bavarian mountain hound puppy. Never try to raise or grab your dog's front legs, neck, or tail. When lifting a bigger, mature Bavarian mountain dog, start from the bottom and brace his or her chest with one arm and rump with the other.

Feeding

The optimal food for a medium-sized, high-energy Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound is one that is created for a medium-sized breed. These puppies will acquire weight if they do not receive enough activity or nourishment, so keep to a regular feeding schedule and don't leave food out during the day. Also, limit the number of snacks they receive.

The nutritional requirements of the Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound will alter from puppyhood to adulthood, and will continue to evolve into their senior years, as they do with other dogs. Because there is just too much variance among individual dogs—including weight, energy, and health—to offer a particular prescription, you should seek your veterinarian for advice on your Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound's food.

Home Training Tips and General Information

Companion bavarian mountain hounds that are well-behaved can be a true blessing. Your Bavarian mountain hound, on the other hand, if untrained, might cause a lot of problems. The standards—"Down," "Heel," "Off," "Sit," "Stay," "Come," and "Leave it"—strengthen both your bond with your bavarian mountain dog and your relationship with your company. If you have a dog, start teaching her the appropriate reactions right away! As a motivator and reward, provide a snack. When puppies are fully immunised, they should begin obedience courses. For information on obedience lessons, contact your local humane organisation or SPCA. Even as a puppy, keep your Bavarian mountain hound on a leash when out in public. If you inform your doggy, she will most likely return to you. Children should not be permitted to play with an aggressive or rebellious Bavarian mountain hound.
