SLOVAKIAN HOUND - Popular Dog Breed

Complete Guide to the Slovakian Hound

The Slovenský Kopov is a tough, highly driven scenthound bred to track wild boar in brutal, mountainous terrain. Recognizable by their striking black-and-tan coat, they are fiercely independent hunters who possess an exceptional nose and absolute fearlessness when facing dangerous game.

They require a highly experienced, firm owner and absolutely massive amounts of daily exercise. Their short, dense coat is highly weather-resistant and easy to care for.
