Working dog, not an ordinary pet

The Alpine Dachsbracke independently tracks wounded game and works for long periods in difficult mountain terrain. Dutch breed information therefore considers it unsuitable as an ordinary family pet. It needs serious scent work, long exercise and an owner able to guide hunting behaviour every day. Off-lead activity outside enclosed land is risky because of scent persistence. Use rewards and build reliable stop and settle cues.

Structure and care

The short dense coat needs little beyond weekly brushing and checks after field work. The relatively long back and low build require lean weight, strong core muscles and gradually increased loads. Avoid excessive stairs and repeated jumping in puppies without preventing normal free movement. Inspect drop ears, pads and ticks after each working day.

Health and choosing a breeder

Although Dutch club rules require no tests, DNA tests exist for recessive NCL and ATX in this breed. Request both parents' results and mate any carrier only to clear. Discuss spinal, joint, eye and neurological disease, working longevity and inbreeding. Choose functional leg length and durable movement over the lowest possible silhouette.
