About Hamiltonstovare Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Hamiltonstovare, originating in Sweden, is a medium to large scenthound in the Hound Group (AKC Foundation Stock Service) developed in the late 1800s by Count Adolf Patrick Hamilton for solo tracking of fox and hare across rugged terrain. Typically 19-24 inches tall and 40-75 pounds, they carry a striking tricolor coat of black, tan, and white that is short, dense, and weather resistant, requiring only weekly brushing, routine ear checks, dental care, and nail trims. Friendly, versatile, and calm at home yet tireless in the field, they need substantial daily exercise and thrive with active families who can channel their stamina and keen nose.
