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.
