History |
|
The Austrian Black and Tan Hound appears to be a true descendant of the ancient Celtic Hound. They are a universally popular hunting dog, prized for their ability to do heavy work on high mountains, as well as on flat country. The Austrian Black and Tan Hound was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 2006. |
