Austrian Black and Tan Hound

Austrian Black and Tan Hounds are hunters at heart. They have a strong work ethic and keen sense of smell that they use to track animals. Because of their prey drive, this breed may seem like an aggressive dog, but they’re actually quite sweet and playful with the right owner. They can make great family dogs, especially if you live in a rural area or place with plenty of smells to explore.

The Austrian Black and Tan Hound has a short, dense coat of smooth hair with a silky sheen. True to their name, they’re mostly black with light or tan markings on their legs and face. These dogs are average shedders, so brushing them a few times each week with a firm bristle brush will be all the grooming they need.

Austrian Black and Tan Hounds are happiest in rural areas where they have lots of space to run and hunt. They love being around nature but crave companionship too. These pups are good with children and make the perfect playmate for them. They can also get along with other dogs and pets, although their strong prey drive may not be the best fit for small critters or rodents.

The Austrian Black and Tan Hound is a high-energy dog that needs room to roam. They can get stressed if they’re confined for too long, so make time to give your pup enough exercise each day to keep it happy and healthy. Austrian Hounds are known to follow a scent for miles, though, so keep them on a leash or in a fenced area to avoid losing track of them.
