    Hamiltonstovare

    The Hamiltonst?vare hails from Sweden where they have always been highly prized for their hunting and abilities. They share a common ancestry with English Foxhounds Harriers and other German hounds all of which were used to create this handsome dog. They were bred to hunt alone rather than in packs although they are often seen working in pairs and as such they generally get on well with other dogs but having hunting in their ancestry they do have a high prey drive.
