Laguna Niguel, CA - This versatile scent hound, originally bred in Sweden to hunt fox and hare, is also known as the Hamilton Hound and the Swedish Foxhound. This agile, regal dog is named after the founder of the Swedish Kennel Club, Count Adolph Patrick Hamilton, who founded the organization in the late 1800’s.
The Count wanted a versatile, flexible hunting dog who could navigate the varied Swedish terrain so he used a mix of Harriers, English Foxhouds, and three German breeds which are now extinct: the Heiderbracke, the Holsteiner Hound and the Curlandish Hound. The breed was developed to be a solitary hunter, unlike it’s English kin, who hunted in packs. The result is a dog that when kept as a family pet, will follow its nose, so leashes and a fenced in yard are a must.
At home, the Hamiltonstovare is a low maintenence companion who has been described as lazy. They also rarely shed.
