American Hairless Terrier History

The American Hairless Terrier started in 1972 from one hairless female puppy in a litter of Rat Terriers. This one lone dog, named Josephine had pink skin with large black spots. She was actually given away out of the litter. Being that she was hairless and didn’t shed, the Scotts (who now had adopted the puppy), went on to breed her. Her offspring was originally registered as a hairless variety of Rat Terrier. Many American Hairless Terriers are still born with a coat, recognised as a coated variety. This breed went on to be recognized by the United Kennel Club in 2004 and the American Kennel Club in 2016. The breed still continues to this day and comes in two sizes, miniature and standard. All of this breeding was done with careful outcroppings with the Rat Terrier. If you are wondering about the Rat Terrier, they were originally bred to hunt Rats and other vermin. People would actually place wagers on them and use them as a way to place bets. However, the original breeding was done for practical purposes - to keep rats out of barns.



Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound History

In the 1800’s, the Germans used a breed of dog called German Bracken hunting dogs in order to help them trail game. These German Bracken dogs possessed a strong sense of smell to help hunters track and trail their prey. The Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound is a descendant from the German Bracken breed.
The rough and rugged mountains of Germany were not quite suited for the Hanoverian Scent hound as they were too big and heavy for that type of terrain. The Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound was bred to be lighter and more agile, so it was better equipped to keep up with big game and prey that hunters were going after.
The Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound was recognized as a breed in 1996 by the United Kennel Club (UKC), the American Kennel Club (AKC) inducted the breed into its Foundation Stock Service in 2016.
In 2017 the Bavarian Mountain Scent Hound Society of America was formed.
