Alpine Dachsbracke — size comparison — facts and sources
The Alpine Dachsbracke is a low, elongated dog with a surprisingly strong body. It has short legs, drooping ears and dense hair, most often dark red or black and tan. Although resembling a large, powerful Dachshund, it is a separate hound breed. Its proportions support a steady, enduring pace.
The breed developed in Alpine countries as a hunter’s assistant. In 1881 and 1885 such dogs accompanied Archduke Rudolf of Habsburg’s expeditions to Turkey and Egypt. Austrian canine organisations recognised them in 1932. The present name Alpenländische Dachsbracke was adopted in 1975. Carefully locating wounded game, including in mountains, became an important task.
It is bold and determined yet friendly with people. Rather than relying solely on speed, it can remain concentrated on scent for a long time. It moves capably over mountain paths and slopes.
