The Hamiltonstoevare, also known as Hamiltonstövare, Hamilton Hound, Swedish Foxhound, originated in Sweden, where they have always been highly regarded for their hunting skills and abilities. They share a common ancestry with English Foxhounds, Harriers and other German hunting dogs, from which this handsome dog was created. They were bred to hunt alone rather than in packs, although they are often seen working in pairs. As such, they generally get along well with other dogs, but since they are descended from hunting, they have a high prey drive.

FAQs

Are Hamiltonstovare easy to train?

Yes, Hamiltonstovare dogs are relatively easy to train due to their history as hunting dogs bred to respond well to their huntsman's commands. They respond best to positive reinforcement such as treats and praise, benefiting from consistent and early obedience training and socialisation. However, they do have an independent streak typical of hounds, so training should be engaging and patient to keep their interest, with recall training being particularly important due to their scent-driven nature.

How much do Hamiltonstovare cost?

The price of Hamiltonstovare dogs varies, with puppies from breeders generally costing more than adopting from shelters or rescues. Adoption fees often cover spaying or neutering, vaccinations, and microchipping. Specific breeder price ranges are not widely documented, but adopting can be a more affordable alternative.

Do Hamiltonstovare dogs shed a lot?

Hamiltonstovares have a short, harsh, dense coat that lies close to their body and requires regular brushing. They have a thicker undercoat in winter, which means they experience seasonal shedding, but overall they are not considered heavy shedders and their grooming needs are manageable.

Are Hamiltonstovare good with children?

Hamiltonstovare dogs tend to be better suited to families with older children or no children, rather than homes with very young kids. This is due to their size, energy levels, and hunting instincts, which might make them less ideal companions for small children.
