History of the breed

The Tyrolean Brachet breed is very old . A descendant of the Celtic scent hound , it was one of Emperor Maximilian I’s favorite hunting dogs in the early 16th century. The first pure breeding of Brachet Tyrolien began around 1860 in its region of origin, the Austrian Tyrol . Its first standard was developed in 1896 and its official recognition was confirmed 12 years later. In 1944, it was decided to no longer include the small-sized variety in its standard. The Tyrolean Brachet breed was definitively recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) on October 8, 1954.
