About the Hamiltonstovare
The Hamiltonstövare looks like a fairly typical tricoloured Foxhound but it was developed from a variety of other hounds to produce a dog who could work and hunt in the frozen landscapes of Sweden. His ancestors are said to have been the Swiss Hound, Holstein Hound, Hanover Hound, the Curland Hound from Latvia, and the English Foxhound. The Hamiltonstövare was — and still is — used for hunting hare and fox, and is a scent hound, tracking game by sniffing the ground at high speed (as anyone who has ever tried to walk one will testify). They have an excellent nose and once on the trail of game are hard to distract. The Hamiltonstovare is an excellent hunting dog.

That isn’t to say they’re easy to train, though, thanks to their hound stubbornness. They also tend to have a higher sight-driven prey drive than most scent hounds. When combined with their scent hound tendencies, it can be a challenge to keep a Hamiltonstovare securely enclosed in a yard.
