Happy May everyone! This month we're celebrating the Drever!
The Drever is a Swedish dog breed acquired from Germany in 1910 and crafted specifically for deer hunting. The short legs were chosen on purpose to keep the Drever near the ground for scenting and to keep them from moving too fast toward the prey, as the Roe deer they help hunt are skittish and must be approached carefully. The name was chosen by a newspaper contest in 1947 and is derived from the Swedish word 'drev' which describes the type of hunt when the prey is driven toward the hunter. These are strong, hardworking dogs, beloved by their hunting companions, and rarely found as companion pets.
