Introduction

The Austrian Black and Tan Hound is a type of myrrh hound native to Austria. Breed records show that it has been there for at least 150 years and is probably much longer.

History

Very little is known about the history of Austrian Black and Tan Hound. The breed entered the written record in the mid-19th century, meaning that it has existed since at least that time. However, many experts believe that the dog is quite old, possibly for several centuries. Prior to the mid-1800s, dogs in Austria were not kept a pure breed in the modern sense, although they were bred for working ability, temperament, and appearance. This meant that the Austrian Black and Tan Hound probably existed, but it was not recognized as a unique breed of other medium and large Austrian odor wounds. The Austrians consider three of their hound breeds to be closely related, and collectively refer to them as the Grand Breaks, with Bracke being named for a large group of myrrh and the Grand from the much smaller Alpine Daxbrake Let’s separate. In addition to the Austrian Black and Tan Hound, the group also includes the Styrian coarse-haired hound and the Tirolian hound. In fact, all three dogs are quite similar in appearance and all are likely related either through crossing or descent.

The primary period of the reproductive cycle of the female is called Proestrus and goes on for around 9 days. During this time the females begin to draw in males. The subsequent part is the Estrus when the bitch is receptive to the male. It goes on for around 3 to 11 days. The third part is the Diestrus. Usually, it happens around day 14. In this period the bitch’s discharge changes for distinctive red and reaching its end. The vulva gets back to average, and she will no longer allow mating. The fourth part called the Anestrus. The time span between heat periods ordinarily keeps going around a half year. The litter size ranges between 6 to 8 puppies at a time

Grooming

Training

Nutrition

They should perform well on high quality dog ​​food, whether it is commercially manufactured or prepared with the supervision and approval of your veterinarian. Any diet should be appropriate for the age of the dog (puppy, adult or senior). Some dogs are at risk of being overweight, so watch your dog’s calorie consumption and weight level. Treatment training can be an important aid, but giving too much can lead to obesity. Know which human foods are safe for dogs, and which are not. If you have any concerns about your dog’s weight or diet, check with your vet. Clean, fresh water must be available at all times.

Exercise

They in general have high energy levels. The breed is very active and requires regular exercise to avoid being bored and unhappy. Boredom leads to undesirable behavior. Play sessions indoors, indoors or outdoors, will keep one happy and well-adjusted. However, these sessions must be a securely fenced yard and, when on foot or hike, leased to an Australian. The Australian team should never run loose – their tendency to hunt is very strong, and they may not be able to resist running to chase a cat or squirrel, and chase their prey so far away from home Are that they cannot find their way.

Health

There does not appear to have been any health study conducted on the Austrian Black and Tan Hound. As such it is difficult to say much about the health of the dog. However, most Austrian sources indicate that the dog suffers from no known genetic health problems. This probably means that Austrian black and tan hounds suffer from significantly lower rates of genetic conditions than other breeds, since no dog is immune to genetically inherited health defects. This genetic health is probably the result of reproductive policies adopted by Austrian hunters. For more than a century and perhaps many times, Austrian Blacks and Tan Hounds were specifically bred for their ability to work. Any health defect would reduce the dog’s ability to function and was quickly eliminated from the gene pool.

Although the Austrian Black and Tan Hound do not have any major health problems, some have appeared in similar breeds. These include:

  • hip dysplasia
  • Elbow dysplasia
  • Demodicosis / Demodectic Mange / Demodex mange
