The Drever is a very friendly and calm dog who loves to go hunting. The breed is very enduring and it likes to work for long periods of time. The breed has a good sense of smell, which also contributes to the dog being able to track game when it is hunting. At the same time, however, the short legs make it slower than the larger breeds, but it can move in places that can be more complicated for the larger dog breeds to move. A Drever is not only suitable as a hunting dog, it is also suitable as a family dog. The breed's rather calm temperament makes it extremely good for children, and humans in general. It rarely barks when indoors, and it is mostly very social.
The breed is by no means aggressive, which is due to the fact that it is not bred to kill, but merely to track down game, which is also reflected in its gentle mind. A Drever loves to use its sense of smell and pursue a trail. Due to its hurting instincts, it is a good idea to keep it on a leash on walks, as it is driven by his instincts.
The breed is friendly and sociable in relation to both adults and children, strange dogs and other animals. Its small size and gentle nature make the breed an excellent family dog. However, it will not thrive if it is only used as a companion dog, given that the hunting instinct lies so deep in it. The breed needs a lot of social closeness and human contact. But even more, it needs to satisfy its strong hunting instinct and be allowed to use the incredible track sense that the breed possesses. The only low-legged scent dog in the Nordic countries is a version of the German Westfälische Dachsbracke. It came to Sweden in the early 1900s as a drifting hunting dog for deer hunting where it was crossed with local dogs. Today, the breed is Sweden's most popular hunting dog and one of the country's most widespread breeds. In Denmark, it was developed in southwestern Jutland under the name Strellufstøver. There are only a few opportunities for scent hunting in Denmark, and the two variants are now identical and have the same standard. The most obvious characteristics of the Drever are its small short legs and long body. The head is large and oblong with long ears that are wide and hanging. Both the legs and back are long and straight. The eyes are clear and dark brown. They are also very expressive, which gives the dog a friendly expression that you can not help but like. The breed grows to about 32-38 cm with a weight of 14-16 kg.
The breed is an independent hunter that is very enduring, both physically and mentally. When hunting, it runs far and wide, and is ready to continue long after the owner has satisfied his desire to hunt. These qualities make the breed a fantastic hunting dog. However, one must be aware that the breed is difficult to make obedient, and you should not use it for hunting before its fully trained for the task.
The coat of the breed is coarse, straight and close. The coat does not protect much in cold and humid weather. However, this does not bother the robust dog, as long as it is just allowed to move, thereby keeping the hunt going. The fur care is minimal and is easily done with a rubber brush or a quick wipe with a cloth.
The breed likes to cooperate as long as it finds the tasks meaningful and interesting. You will be doing yourself a favor by beginning training with emphasis on call backs very early. You should also train kindly, persistently and consistently.
