History of the Schillerstevare breed
Origin: Sweden
Swedish breed. At the first dog show in Sweden in 1886, about 189 hounds were exhibited, among which were the brother and sister Tamburini and Ralla 1 peasant Per Schiller. They descended from the hounds of the Kaflos estate, presumably from Southern Germany. The breed was improved with the help of Swiss hounds and a significant share of British, mainly harriers. A dog of the same type was quickly formed, dominated by the continental type. The Swedish Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1907.
Schillerstevare is an average Swedish Hound: males 53-61 cm (ideal 57 cm), bitches 49-57 cm (ideal 53 cm). Lively and attentive, with a clear black coat on a red background. Keeps the voice on track. A hunting dog for hare and fox that works independently. Not suitable for urban life without hunting and movement.
