Bavarian Mountain Hound Puppies For Sale

Bavarian Mountain Hounds are hunting dogs that smell prey from a mile away. They love roaming and taking in all of nature’s smells, but only if their owner is close behind. While they may seem tough when they’re on the hunt, these pups are cozy companions behind the scenes. Full-grown, they typically weigh 37-66 pounds and stand 17-21 inches tall.

Bavarian Mountain Hounds are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Bavarian Mountain Hounds bond quickly with their owners and like being around children and other dogs. With training and socialization, they can get along with cats too, but small animals and rodents set off their prey drive. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.

The Bavarian Mountain Hound is a hunter at heart, so they need exercise to keep them busy. These dogs don’t do well when they’re cooped up in the house all day, so be sure to take them for walks, hikes, and other activities that engage their senses. Keep them on a leash in open areas, though, as they’re known to dart off after interesting smells. Overall, their exercise needs are moderate.

The Bavarian Mountain Hound has a short coat that is dense and coarse. Their fur is typically fawn, tan, deep red, reddish grey, brindle, or black, with a black face mask. These dogs are average shedders that don’t need much grooming. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

Bavarian Mountain Hounds are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. This breed was created as hunters, so they do best in rural areas rather than the city. They are fairly easy to train.
