Hygen Hound

Hygen Hounds can run for miles and miles. They can also seek your attention for hours and hours. As with many high-energy, intelligent breeds, early socialization and training is always helpful. Specifically with the Hygen Hound, it’s important that their suspicion of strangers and watchdog behavior doesn’t turn into unwanted aggression. Every hound is different. Some Hygen Hounds can be more dominant than others. Overall, these dogs desire daily activity and affection. They are known to be loving, lively, and gentle with their family.

The waterproof coat of a Hygen Hound is helpful when weathering harsh arctic temperatures and terrain. It is not recommended to bathe these dogs too often, as it could strip natural oils and nutrients from their coat. However, you should brush their coat every week to help remove dead hairs. Hygen Hounds also have typically long hound ears. They should be checked regularly for possible infections.

Hygen Hounds are experts at running long distances, so they thrive in an area with a lot of acreage. They make a great companion for someone who enjoys running or the outdoors. Hygen Hounds do not fare well in apartment-style living or with owners who cannot keep up with their fast-paced lifestyle.

These dogs lead active lives. The happiest Hygen Hounds are running around for more than two hours each day. They have great endurance, so they are more of a running buddy than a walking companion. Better yet, strap on some rollerblades or hop on a bike and have your Hygen Hound run alongside you. They will love having to keep up with you for a change!
