note= | The Styrian Coarse Haired Hound is a breed of dog of the hound type.
Appearance
This medium to large hound has a harsh, rough coat (although not shaggy) that comes in colours of red and fawn; a white mark on the chest may be present. Height is between 45-53cm (17.5-21 in) at the shoulder and they may weigh between 15-18kg (33-40lbs).They are a strong muscled, tough dog with a serious expression. They are not generally kept as a companion dog as they do not make good pets; they require a lot of exercise and can be dominant and destructive.
History
The Styrian Coarse Haired Hound dates back to the 18th century when Karl Peintinger, the founder of the breed, crossed a Hanoverian Scent Hound with an Istrian Hound. Selective breeding continued until it produced a rough-coated, hardy hunting dog used by Austrians and Slovenians to hunt wild boar. It can also be used to track wounded animals through rough terrain and in high altitudes.
