The Hamiltonstovare is classified by The Royal Kennel Club as a large breed, typically weighing 23–27 kg as an adult. Sweden's national scenthound, developed by Count Adolf Patrick Hamilton to hunt independently rather than in packs, the Hamiltonstovare has a distinctive black, tan, and white tricolour coat and a calm, steady temperament.
What this means for your Hamiltonstovare
Hip dysplasia and ear infections, common across long-eared scenthound breeds due to reduced airflow, are both worth watching for. Otherwise, the Hamiltonstovare is generally considered a robust, hardy breed.
Regular ear cleaning helps prevent the infections that pendulous ears can make more likely, and this becomes especially useful as a routine habit throughout your dog's life.
When is a Hamiltonstovare considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, large breeds like the Hamiltonstovare are generally considered senior from around 5 dog years old.
