Kromfohrländer — size comparison — facts and sources
The Kromfohrländer is a medium-sized, relatively light dog with white-and-brown colouring. Its coat may be rough with a beard or smoother without one. It has a balanced head, folded ears and a lively, attentive gaze. The body is athletic and moderately strong, with quick, free movement. Brown patch arrangements give individuals distinctive appearances.
The breed developed in Germany after the Second World War, associated with Ilse Schleifenbaum’s breeding near Siegen. Its name comes from nearby Krom Fohr, described as a crooked furrow. It gained international recognition in 1955. From the start it was developed mainly as a domestic companion without establishing a strong hunting specialisation.
It is usually quick to learn, active and deeply attached to familiar people. It enjoys play and closely watches family routines. Often reserved with strangers, it needs time to make contact itself. It learns household habits quickly and adapts to new tasks. Its liveliness is clearest in secure surroundings, where curiosity and enthusiasm for shared activity emerge freely.
