Hanoverian Scenthound (Hanover Hound) puppies for sale across Canada

Breed history

The Hanoverian Scenthound originated in Germany and dates back to medieval tracking dogs used by nobility to follow wounded game after hunts. Developed primarily in the region of Hanover, these dogs were selectively bred for their exceptional nose, endurance, and calm temperament. Over centuries, the breed became a cornerstone of professional game recovery, especially for tracking wounded deer and boar. Today, the Hanoverian Scenthound remains closely tied to hunting traditions and is still primarily bred for working purposes rather than companionship.
