Breed history

The Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound, also known as the Bayerischer Gebirgsschweißhund, is a traditional German scent hound with roots tracing back several centuries in the mountainous regions of Bavaria. Bred primarily for tracking wounded game, especially deer and boar, this breed was prized for its exceptional scenting ability, endurance, and agility on rough terrain. The Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound’s development was influenced by older German hunting hounds, refined to meet the demands of hunters in the dense forests and steep landscapes of southern Germany. Known for its strong tracking instincts and loyal nature, this breed remains a valued companion for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, combining a rugged working heritage with a calm, devoted temperament.
