Also known as Hamilton Hound
Sweden's tricolour hare hound with tireless stamina
The Hamiltonstovare is a Swedish hound bred by Count Adolf Hamilton to hunt hare and fox by scent over long distances. It is friendly, steady and easy to groom, but needs many hours of outdoor activity and a secure garden.
Last updated
This breed needs about 90 minutes of activity a day. Around 5 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Best-matched service
Yes, it is friendly and generally good with children. It does best in an active household with time and space for outdoor exercise.
Only in a fully secure area. Its scent drive is strong and a trail can override recall, so most owners use long lines outside fenced spaces.
It gives voice when tracking and can bark when bored or alone. Enough exercise and company keeps it quieter at home.
