The Serbian Tricolour Hound is a very rare
dogbreed
from Serbia.
Black and tan with a white front (the white distinguishes him from the
Serbian Mountain Hound, a similar breed), he stands 18 to 22 inches (46-56
cm) high and weighs 44 to 55 pounds (20 to 25 kg). Used to hunt
fox,
hare and other
small game, occasionally hunting larger animals such as
deer or even
wild boar,
the Serbian Tricolour is affectionate, gentle and a devoted hunter.
The breed was formerly known as the Yugoslavian Tricolour Hound, the name was
changed by the FCI in 1996.
