The Hanover Hound is a Breed of Dog sometimes referred to as a '''Hanoverian Hound'''. It is a Hunting and tracking dog descended from bloodhounds of medieval times, and is uncommon today.


APPEARANCE

These short-haired dogs range in colour from light to dark reddish fawn with a brindled appearance. They may also have a mask. Overall, the Hanoverian Hound is sturdily built with a large head, strong jaws and a deep chest. Their weight ranges from 36-45 kg (80-99 lbs). Males range in size from 50-55 cm (19-22 inches) while females are slightly smaller, about 48-53 cm (18-21 inches).


TEMPERAMENT

Like any Working Dog , the Hanover Hound fares best living in an area where he can get lots of exercise and would not be ideal for city living. They are calm and loyal, but described as persistent and single-minded when tracking.
