Carl Peintinger, industrialist in Styria, began breeding in 1870 by crossing the Hanoverian Scent Hound bitch "Peintingrt Brak 1" with a coarse-haired male Istrian Hound, which excelled in hunting qualities and appearance. The best puppies from this litter were reared and selective breeding from them was continued. Their rough coats made the dogs resistant to the inclemencies of the weather. Medium size, strong muscles. Expression serious but not vicious.A passionate, tough hunting dog which unceasingly giving tongue; a firm and determined tracker.
