Wiki isnt much help. It says the breed is a cross between the bavarian hound (which is, according to the hyperlink, the exact same dog) and the hanover hound (which is a cross out of the bavarian hound) used during medieval times, but just recently introduced to france in the 1980s. The hanover hound looks like a cross between a redbone and bassett hound, then crossed over to a redbone again to get the bavarian hound.
thank ya sir. Your right , not much but that's interesting. I just thought they were good looking, well built dogs, I had never seen one before. The guy also said they track silent, and are cold nosed. I've always heard a lot of folks wishing they had some silent hounds. I thought these dogs were pretty cool. And heck this one does look similar to a red bone. Just with a black head.
