The Austrian BrandlBracke, also known as the Austrian Smoothhaired Hound or the Osterreichischer Glat thaariger Bracke, is an excellent hunting dog that is known for its ability to hunt silently.
The Austrian BrandlBracke, is a hound dog and unlike many other hunting breeds, is still used primarily for hunting. A lot of Austrian hunters prefer the Austrian BrandlBracke to other breeds of hunting dog because they are so quiet in the field. These dogs are also known for their flowing gaits and swift agile movement. The Austrian BrandlBracke is a native Austrian dog and shares some similarities with German breeds, but overall, they are Austrian through and through. These are lovable high-spirited dogs.
The Austrian BrandlBracke is an average sized canine. They measure between 18 and 24 inches at maturity and typically weigh between 33 and 50 pounds. Their short thick coats are quite shiny and come in either black and tan or red. Some will have minimal white markings on their chest, necks, and feet. They have chestnut eyes.
The Austrian BrandlBracke is a highly prized dog in Austria for its stealthy hunting skill. Other hunting dogs have faded in recent years, some species even having become completely obsolete. Such is not the case with the Austrian BrandlBracke - they are still prized dogs and loved among hunters.
The hounds of Austria are the same general type and often of similar origin as the German hounds. They have the same sturdy, unexagger-ated body type including the stopless face and high-set, smooth ear. Austrians also appreciate the fine tracking qualities of scenthounds and enlist them for bloodtrailing as well as hunting live game.
The Brandlbracke has the raciest body of the Austrian hounds, being leggier and lighter of bone than the Bavarian dogs to the north. He stems directly from the Celtic brackes of old, and is closely related to both the Belgian St. Hubert and the Jura Hounds of Switzerland. He has been recognized as a distinct type since 1884. His elegant head, carried high, is straight and wide, crowned with prominent eyebrows, and tapering to the muzzle. There should be no flew or hanging eyelids.
The Brandlbracke is usually of the black and tan pattern, with the tan actually being a rich shade of red. Brand is literally fire in German, and the diminutive Brandt indicates the little marks of fire red. The sleek, black body with the trace markings of bright red gave the breed its name. A small white ring may be around the neck, with a star on chest and white feet.
The breed dwells exclusively in the hands of hunters, who appreciate it especially for silent trailing. While work on the cold scent is his specialty, he can also be utilized for hunting hare and fox, for which he gives tongue. Prized by Austrian hunters, he is unknown outside his native land.
