The Hungarian Hound is a breed of dog originating in Hungary. It was originally kept by Hungarian kings and princes for hunting various game (i.e. foxes, boar, etc.). The dog is very sleek in appearance. They carry themselves in a very erect and upright manner which lends itself to their regal heritage.
Generally, the coat is black and tan (sometimes with white patches). The chest area underside is tan and/ or white, and the feet are tan or black. The hair is short (about 2 inches) and very course. The eyes are a dark brown with patches of tan above, and the ears are similar to those of a beagle (wide at mid-point, and then taper to a rounded-v shape).
Sizes: Large: 70-75 lb on average. Small: 50-55 lb average weight. The dog is extremely loyal and friendly. They are very good natured and well mannered with both people and other dogs. They form strong attachments to their owners and are very protective of family members.
