About the Transylvanian Hound
The Transylvanian Hound is good-natured, courageous, and enduring. At his foundation, he is quiet and even, but also determined and lively. The environmental conditions of the Carpathians made the breed a tough, brave dog.
The Transylvanian Hound is an ancient Hungarian hunter created by special climate, terrain, and hunting conditions. His whole appearance reflects nobility and harmony. Due to his medium size, his body is athletic, lean, muscular, and exaggerated, and his movement is balanced and elegant. Its basic nature is calm, balanced yet firm, temperamental, and adaptable. Their playful nature makes them an ideal family favorite. Because of their balance and friendliness, they can be kept both in an apartment or house. His courage and loyalty make him a good guard. This scent hound is a basic dog, but it can also be used for retrieval. Hunting in a group or alone, you will hear a far-ranging, high, ringing tone indicating the direction of the game. Working far from the farm, they developed problem-solving abilities and through the centuries have become highly intelligent.
