π History & Origin
The Alpine Dachsbracke originated in the Austrian Alps in the 19th century. It was primarily developed for tracking wounded game (deer, boar, hare) in challenging mountain terrain. It is believed to be a descendant of the Bracco Italiano and the Dachshund.
πͺ Physical Features
Medium-sized with a sturdy, well-muscled body, characterized by a short, dense coat (red, black and tan). They have long, hanging ears and strong jaws, built for endurance and navigating rough terrain.

Brave and determined in the field, but gentle and friendly with its family. Can be reserved with strangers. Intelligent but independent, requiring patient training. Possesses a strong prey drive.
π₯ Health & Lifespan
Generally healthy, with a lifespan of 10-12 years. May be prone to ear infections due to their hanging ears, and have a potential for intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) due to their long backs, though less common than in Dachshunds.
π Training & Activities
Highly trainable for tracking and hunting tasks. Requires early socialization and consistent, positive reinforcement. Needs significant daily exercise to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors.
