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).
