The Hanover Hound is a purdog originating from Germany. They are loyal, independent, and calm pups who have some of the best qualities of most dog breeds around today. The Hanoverian Scenthound goes by several other names, including Hanoverian Hound, Hanoverian Scent Dog, and Hannoverscher Schweisshund. Despite their status as a rare dog breed, you can still try to find these beautiful pups in shelters or breed specific rescues, so remember to adopt! Don’t shop! These adorable pups are quite large in size, which doesn’t make them great fits for urban dwellers who live in apartments. They’re best suited for larger homes with yards of some kind so they can run around. If you want a calm and independent dog who will never leave your side and will always try to please you, then this dog is perfect for you!
