The Bavarian Mountain Hound

THIS handsome chap is a Bavarian Mountain Hound (Bayerischer Gebirgsschweisshund)  which is descended from hunting dogs.  They are scent hounds which have been used in Germany since the Middle Ages to trail wounded game. They are a cross between the Bavarian Hound and the Hanover Hound. Bavarian Mountain Hounds weigh between 20 to 25 kg, males are 47 to 52 cm (18.5 - 20.5 in) high, while females are 44 to 48 cm (17-19 in). For lots more information and some wonderful photographs visit the
Bavarian Mountain Hound Society.

I would like to know who posted this, as the 'handsome chap' happens to be a bitch. How do I know this? Because she is sitting beside me now. Why don't you post pictures of you own dog, instead of someone else's?
