Hamiltonstovare Puppies For Sale

With a history dating back hundreds of years, Hamiltonstövares are the most popular hounds in Sweden. They were bred for tracking small, quick animals like fox and hare. These happy-go-lucky hounds are pretty handsome and look like very tall Beagles. Friendly and playful, you really couldn’t find a better family pet! Full-grown, they typically weigh 40-75 pounds and stand 19-24 inches tall.

Hamiltonstovares are generally excellent with children of all ages. Hamiltonstövares were bred for hunting small critters, so where they do well making friends with large dogs, be sure to keep an eye on them around your smaller pets. Hamiltonstövares truly do make wonderful family companions and get an A+ around children. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.

As with many scent hounds, Hamiltonstövares have extra endurance, athleticism, and energy. They need to work up a sweat every day to maintain their even-mannered attitude. Two hours of aerobic exercise should do the trick. Overall, their exercise needs are high.

Hamiltonstövares are good-looking dogs, and it doesn’t take much to keep them looking that way. As with all hound breeds with drop ears, check them regularly for ticks and potential signs of infection. Wiping the inside of their ears with a cotton ball and a vet-approved solution is also a good idea. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

Hamiltonstovares are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. They do, however, love a good backyard. Outside your fenced yard, be sure to keep them on a leash, as they tend to follow their nose anywhere it goes. They are fairly easy to train.
