About the Hanoverian Hound
Just by looking at them, you know that Hanoverian Hounds have a big appetite for work. These are well-proportioned, powerful dogs. The broad, deep chest is able to accommodate the big lungs needed to take part in long, tiring pursuits.
Hanoverian Hounds have a lightly wrinkled forehead and lively dark eyes, producing an oh-so-typical serious gaze. The coat is predominantly red, ranging from light fawn to dark brindle, even sometimes appearing almost black.
