ancestors of Serbian Hounds were Greek Hounds, which the Phoenicians brought to the Balkans in the 18th century. With them, they went into the mountains and hunted bears, lynxes, and wolves. Detailed description and popularity of the breed were received closer to the XX century; then, it was called the Yugoslavian Hound. Merchants and hunters used the Hound as a constant companion in hunting, both small game and larger. A rough version of the standard was proposed back in 1924 but was rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official recognition of the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Cynologique Internationale and the standard of the breed was adopted in 1940. Then the new name Balkan Hound was approved. Soon the name was changed again \u2013 because of the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1996; the breed finally got its unchanged name, Serbian Hound. Despite its long history, the Serbian Hound is almost unknown outside its homeland. It is almost impossible to meet a purebred outside the Balkan countries.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"appearance\">Appearance<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The Serbian Hound is a compact, medium-sized dog with well-developed musculature. The elegant appearance, perseverance, and natural strength of the hunter are the Balkan Hound\u2019s main features. The body is slightly elongated, and the belly is taut. The head is small. The muzzle is wedge-shaped and long but slightly shorter than the skull. The skull is rounded. The eyes are oval and necessarily dark in color. The ears are large, floppy, and of medium length (reaching the cheekbone line). The neck is strong and slightly convex. Strong limbs. Vigorous and free gait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tail is saber-shaped, drooping downward and tapering toward the end. Coarse and short coat with a thick undercoat. Allowed coloration: from yellowish-red to bright red with an obligatory black chop. According to the breed standard, the black color must reach the head and form two black marks on both sides of the temples.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"character\">Character<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In its homeland, the Serbian Hound is most often used as a hunting dog rather than a pet. Over the years, it has proven itself as a faithful friend and helper worth trusting. Like other hounds, it combines a keen sense of smell, alertness, and speed. Also, the Balkan Hound has a loud and sonorous bark. And that means that it will come in handy when hunting but will not be suitable for apartment life, where it will certainly annoy your neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The character of the Serbian Hound is obedient and balanced.
