description
The Styrian wire-haired hound is a red deer to pale yellow hunting dog up to 53 cm in size . The wire hair is not shaggy, but dull, hard and coarse. The hair of the dogs on the head is shorter than on the rest of the body and forms a mustache. The ears are of medium length, set high, rounded at the bottom, drooping smoothly. The “Steirische” or “Peintinger” is considered to be insensitive to the weather and frugal, which is particularly useful in high mountains and forests. The wire-haired hound is a passionate hunting dog that can follow the game with loud and relaxed barking, known as the neck in the hunter's language, even in difficult terrain.
In Germany, the breed is looked after by the German Brackenverein. In Austria and Switzerland it is looked after by the Austrian Brackenverein.
