The Polish Hunting Dog (Ogar Polski) is classified by The Royal Kennel Club as a medium breed, typically weighing 25–32 kg as an adult. A traditional Polish scenthound with centuries of history, the Ogar Polski was bred to track wounded game through dense forest, valued for its exceptional scenting ability and stamina. It remains rare outside its native Poland.
What this means for your Polish Hunting Dog
Hip dysplasia and ear infections, common in drop-eared scenthounds due to reduced airflow, are both worth monitoring for. As a working scenthound bred for endurance, the breed generally benefits from a robust constitution shaped by its historical role.
Regular ear checks and cleaning help prevent infections in this drop-eared breed, and this becomes a useful routine to maintain throughout your dog's life.
When is a Polish Hunting Dog considered a senior?
Under The Royal Kennel Club's size-adjusted guidance, medium breeds like the Polish Hunting Dog are generally considered senior from around 7 dog years old.
