History of the breed

the   Drever   down from Basset Westphalia, introduced in Sweden in the early 20th century. It was in 1947 that the name Drever was officially adopted for this Swedish version of the Westphalian Basset, its height at the withers being slightly greater than that of the latter. Very popular as a tracking dog , the Drever is very rare outside of Sweden.

The Drever breed was definitively recognized by the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) on January 4, 1955. Its official FCI standard in force was published on February 21, 2006.
