My Bavarian Scweisshund. (Bayerishe Scweisshunde)


He's no longer with us, we still miss him ...


The Bavarian Scweisshunde was breeded in the 18th. century because the hunters in Bavaria needed a dog that could keep up the pace in the Bavarian mountains. It was breeded from crossing a Hannoverian Scweisshunde with Dachses. The Hannover dog was to heavy to do well in the steep hills of Bavaria. It's sole purpose is to track down wounded animals. It loves to follow a blood stained track and are extremely proud when they find the animal.


When august comes everything better be in shape, rifles sighted in an dogs trained. The roedeer season starts the 10th of august and will go on until the 23. of december. At this time we head for our cabin up in Telemark. From the 10.aug. to the second week in september you are only allowed to hunt roedeerbuck and you can't use dogs during this period.
25.th of september the moose hunt starts. I hunt with a fine team in Nissedal (Vally of Santa)! up in Telemark county. The team had six animals to hunt this year. This is hard work but worth evry drop of sweath.
