The Swiss Hound
The bicolor appearance of this hound serves to distinguish it from other related swiss breeds. White predominates in the coat, offset against yellowish orange, orange, or even red markings, which are large in extent, although occasional small spots of color are not penalized in the show ring. The Swiss Hound is a talented tracker and has a powerful voice, which is invariably heard whenever a scent trail is located.
The shorter-legged version of this breed, known as the Schweizer Neiderlaufhund, has identical coat coloration.
They should be 18-23 inches tall and weigh 34-44 pounds. Another name for the Swiss Hound is the Schweizer Laufhund.
