I know it is still in the early stages of coming off, but earlier this year I had made some enquiry into sourcing a Hanoverian for sometime next year as my GWP is now 9, and looking a couple of years ahead...

barongcw(Georges) off the site put me in touch with a friend of his Rudi, who is based in Belgium, in the hope a pup from his litter with appropriate paperwork and suitable for importing would be available. As it turned out Rudi decided he was not taking a litter this year or next but he in turn spoke with a friend of his in Hungary, who both he and Georges have dogs from, and informed me that she (a vet in Hungary) will perhaps have one available from a litter early next year if all goes well.

After several phone calls and numerous emails, I got a message last month telling me that the breeder in Hungary's bitch had just given birth.... to a single bitch puppy, and as I had shown interest sometime previously, I was being offered first opportunity to take it. Having lost 2 of my old dogs earlier this year, and a lot of empty space now obvious in the kennels, it did not take long to decide.

The main point in posting this is to thank both Georges and his friend Rudi, who have gone so far out their way (at no gain whatsoever to themselves) in assisting me in finding this pup. Rudi has even offered to drive to his friends in Hungary and pick the pup up for me and bring her back to Belgium where she will stay until able to travel over at 16 weeks old under the new quarantine laws. The trip for him is 1350km and all that he has asked is that I cover his fuel and any motorway tax due en route. Rudi said that during her initial 2 month stay with him he will even start her training. As you can see from the photo's they begin that deer association early! His own daughter is a vet and will sort all the injections out to allow the travel, and all paperwork will be completed for me.

This is all so a small number of complete enthusiasts can see this breed they are so passionate about become more popular in this country, or at least that is the impression I got from them all!

A huge thanks to all those concerned, Georges, Rudi and Rob (also from SD) and a great example of how far some folk will go to help others.

Didn't know that about single pup litters...

What's Lucky in German?
 
Hi JM,


I have met all three at various different dog days this year and can say they are all very good people and well done to them for being so helpfull, George has also given me some very good info on a Hanoerian for myself.

I have to wait a bit longer than you for mine.


good luck with your training and keep us posted.


Tony
 
Sure she'll turn out a cracker,Georges is very very knowledgable on the breed and tracking dogs and a gentleman to boot
This is nothing but good news for the breed
Reliable dogs going to heavily worked homes,just what's needed
 
Just got an email from Rudi telling me that the pup has already been named by the breeder and it is as a result of it coming to Scotland....

Whisky!
 
By the look of her it will not be Glenmorangie whisky. Looks like a staffy cross pit bull pup you had better keep the paperwork on you or it might end up in the pound with dangerous dog on the weld mesh door.

Cheers mate.

I put this on to publicly thank 3 people that helped me out in sourcing this pup, and copied the link into an email to let Rudi, who is not a member see what positive thoughts were being expressed about the breed in this country and as a way of introducing him to SD. I imagine he will now be sitting there shaking his head...

No wonder the Germans don't want to let dogs leave...

Appearance

These short-haired dogs range in colour from light to dark reddish fawn with a brindled appearance. They may also have a mask. Overall, the Hanoverian Hound is sturdily built with a large head, strong jaws and a deep chest. Their weight ranges from 36–45 kg (80-99 lbs). Males range in size from 50–55 cm (19-22 inches) while females are slightly smaller, about 48–53 cm (18-21 inches).

You will have known all about the appearance, being a dog expert and all...

Don't rise to the idiot,not worth bothering with
Jealousy is an awful thing me thinks
Bet he hasn't even seen a Hanoverian,plenty of staffy crosses though I'll wager
Maybe even a BMH that follows offal along a trail,if it's the same lad I'm thinkin of,eh 6p?
Ignore the troll!
 
Clam Down i was just having a laugh we all know what Glenmorangie stands for and the brindle resembles the makings of my lads staff. Jamross she looks stunning for something i know nothing about and i will bet Wolverine knows nothing about them also . So lets not get away from the novelty factor and hopefully enjoy the stories Jamross tells us in the future.
Don't take offence there was none meant.

Herewith a little light reading for those of you who need little sleep. FCI breed standard 213.

Or in English..........
FCI-Standard N° 213 / 18. 11. 2002/ GB

Hannoverscher Schweisshund
(Hannoverscher Schweisshund)
TRANSLATION : C. Seidler, revised by E.Peper.

ORIGIN : Germany.

DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE ORIGINAL VALID STANDARD : 09. 06. 1999.

UTILIZATION : Scenthound, tracking hound for wounded game.

CLASSIFICATION F.C.I. : Group 6 Scenthounds and related breeds.
Section 2 Scenthounds/Leash Hounds.
With working trial.

BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY : The Hanoverian Scenthound (Hannoverscher Schweisshund) has developed almost unchanged from the so called « liam hound » (leash hound) of the early Middle Ages. The liam hound, from the breed section of the « Bracke », already played an extraordinary part at the time of the establishment of clan rights of the Germanic tribes (in about 500AD).
With the invention of firearms, the methods of hunting big game altered. Dogs were needed to search for wounded game. The liam hound offered the best conditions for this and so he became a « Liam-Scenthound ». Especially the Hanoverian hunting estate in the kingdom of Hannover developed this breed further and preserved the proven methods of handling these hounds.
Since 1894 the registered « Verein Hirschmann e.V. » has been taking care of the breed and it was in this club where the breed’s name “Hannoverscher Schweisshund” (Hanoverian Scenthound) has been established.
Since that time the breeding of these dogs has continued strictly with regard of their working ability, and the dogs are used exclusively in hunting grounds for big game as specialists in tracking cloven-hoof game.

GENERAL APPEARANCE : In general appearance the highly efficient Hanoverian Scenthound (Hannoverscher Schweisshund) is of medium size, well proportioned and powerful. Well set strongly muscled fore and hind limbs qualify him for tireless work. Too long legs, specially overbuilt forequarters, affect his work with nose to ground and are foreign to his type. The broad, deep chest provides ample room for the lungs and enables long, strenuous chases. The slightly wrinkled forehead and the clear dark eyes produce the serious expression typical of the breed. Also typical for the breed is the red primary colour of the coat which can vary from a pale fawn colour to a dark brindle, almost black appearing, colouring.

IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS :

  • A. Length of body to height at withers :
1.4 to 1

  • B. Depth of chest to height at withers :
0.5 to 1

  • C. Length of bridge of nose to length of head :
0.5 to 1

BEHAVIOUR / TEMPERAMENT : Calm and assured temperament. Sensitive with his handler, choosy and discerning with strangers. High capability of concentration in any tracking work with strong loyalty to the hunter in charge.

HEAD Forehead slightly wrinkled.

CRANIAL REGION :
Skull : Broad, increasing in width towards the rear, flatly rounded. Occiput barely pronounced. Seen from the side, superciliary ridges clearly defined.
Stop : Mostly strongly pronounced, more so in males.

FACIAL REGION :
Nose : Broad, mostly black, rarely dark brown. Nose large, broad, nostrils well opened. Bridge of nose slightly arched or almost straight, more arched in males. Gradually narrowing towards forehead.
Muzzle : Strong, deep and broad. Well developed for being used (about 50% of length of head). Mandible strong.
Lips : Broad and pendulous, well rounded.
Jaws/Teeth : Jaws normally developed, very strong, straight, providing all teeth with sufficient room. 42 teeth. Scissor or pincer bite.
Cheeks : Strongly muscled and very strong.
Eyes : Neither prominent nor deep-set, well fitting lids, darkbrown iris. Free of ectropion or entropion.
Ears : Of medium length. Set on high and broad, smooth, hanging close to the head without twist. Bluntly rounded at the tips.

GAIT/MOVEMENT : Able to move in all gaits, full of drive, flexible, ground-covering when galloping. Preferred gaits at work are the walk or the gallop.

SKIN : Thick, rather loose, mostly wrinkled on the head and occasionally at the throat, too. A wrinkled forehead is typical.

COAT

Don't take offence there was none meant.

Know more about them than yourself obviously,if you thought it was a staff x pit bull:doh:
As for novelty factor,think you'll find these hounds are no novelty
 
I am not getting into a ****ing contest over some one else's pup. They are a rare dog fact (Novelty) breed at this moment no one knows much about them this side of the water so my comments come from observations (They look like a bull breed type ). You are correct of coarse i have seen plenty Staffys in fact they are the most common dog in my area.
I wish Jamross well with his new pup and look forward to hearing his storeys and i hope i am wrong and it is a tranquil puppy. lol
 
Thank you for that translation , I have been looking for a translation for ages. Hoped that somebody would produce it.
