The Alpine Dachsbracke is a dog breed from Austria recognized by the FCI ( FCI Group 6, Section 2, Standard No. 254 ).
Origin and history
In the 19th century there were numerous dogs of the Alpine badger type in the Bavarian and Austrian Alps, partly also in the Swiss Graubünden. However, the dogs varied greatly in appearance. Since breeding was concentrated in the Ore Mountains at the end of the 19th century, the dogs were called Alpenländische-Erzgebirgler Dachsbracke until 1975 .
Around 1895 there were several calls for pure breeding of this breed, so that the first International Dachsbracken Club was founded in Munich on March 15, 1896 . The task of this club was to establish a constant form and suitable breed characteristics. In 1908 the club was dissolved. After two years of stagnation, the Austrian Dachsbracke Club was founded on June 11, 1910 on the occasion of the Vienna hunting exhibition , which has been involved in breeding the Alpine Dachsbracke to this day. The First World War led to a sharp decline in the number of members of the club, but after a reorganization under the leadership of August Baumann in 1923 there were soon more than 700 members again.
The Austrian Cynological Association officially recognized the breed in 1932. In the Second World War there was another decline in breeding; breeding lines were not rebuilt until 1945. In 1975 the Alpine Dachsbracke was recognized by the FCI and in 1991 it was included in the bloodhound category. By 1978 around 6500 badgers were registered in the herd book .
