Bavarian Mountain Hound

The Bavarian Mountain Hound (German: Bayerischer Gebirgsschweißhund) is a breed of dog from Germany. As a scent hound, it has been used in Germany since the early 20th century to trail wounded game. It is a cross between the blood hound, labrador, great dane, german shepard,beauceron, rhodesian ridgeback and the Hanover Hound. This dog needs plenty of exercise and if not given the correct mental and physical stimulation can be prone to depression and sometimes become destructive, though having all these traits they are very kind loving dogs that are great with kids and adults. These dogs tend to be vocal dogs with stubborn attitudes yet still obedient and one of the most intelligent of the hound breeds.
