This very ancient breed is quite similar to the Westphalian Basset, since it is a cross between the Westphalian Basset and local hound breeds. Some believe the Dachschund was used. The Drever was officially recognized by the Swedish Kennel Club in 1947 and by the FCI in 1953. The first standard was established in 1953. The Drever is not very well known outside his native country.
