The Drever is commonly referred to as the Swedish Dachsbracke. This breed is a scenthound type of dog that originated in Sweden. This is a working canine that has good hunting skills. The Drever is generally not kept as a companion.
The Drever is primarily used to hunt game such as deer, rabbit and fox. They are a skilled breed that can hunt a variety of game both large and small. It is a quick and versatile dog that enjoys the thrill of the hunt. The high endurance level allows them to go for long periods of time without tiring out.
The physical characteristics can allow people to easily tell what type of breed this is. The Drever has short legs and a long body. The fur is short, coarse, and lies flat to the body. This breed can come in almost any colour so the colour and markings of the fur can not help to identify the dog.
The Drever’s personality is even tempered. They are by nature quite out going. They are very brave and consider no game to be too difficult to track and snare. This can sometimes be worrisome to new owners but the Drever is highly intelligent and can manoeuvre quickly. Their strategic methods are effective and valuable to the hunter.
Due to the intense stamina and hunting traits of this dog it is not usually kept as a pet. Confining the Drever is unhealthy for it physically and mentally. It needs to hunt; this is what makes it truly happy. When this dog is happy and healthy it will respond much better to orders and expectations from its owner.
