The Bavarian hound is native to Lower Bavaria, a region of Germany with a conformation of the territory that required a less heavy and more agile dog than the Hanoverian. By crossing the Hanoverian breed with the oldest Tyrolean hound, the current dog breed was obtained. The name derives from the German words Gebirg (mountain range) and Schweisshund (literally, "sweat dog", more generally track dog). This breed is mainly used for work, the role of which is recognized through special qualifications for the recovery of game. Using its highly developed sense of smell, the Bavarian hound is able to identify even the most invisible ones traces of blood and to locate a wounded animal miles away from the place where the shot took place. Once the wounded or killed prey has been reached, the Bavarian mountain hound calls its master by barking and, at the same time, assumes an attitude of defense of the prey from any stranger. Only the owner is in fact "authorized" by the dog himself to approach: anyone outside of the latter is strongly discouraged in taking possession of the undeserved prey.

The Bavarian Hound from the mountains it is rather light, very muscular, with a slightly elongated body and raised on the back. The limbs are not too long and this gives it a certain proportionality as a whole. Equipped with a serious and intelligent expression, it has a very strong character. One of the distinguishing characteristics of this breed is its remarkable resistance, as it has been rigorously and purposely selected to help humans in the search for prey to hunt, a job in which it is unquestionably one of the best breeds in the world. His loyalty and devotion to his master is indisputable and admirable. In open spaces it leaves no way to deer, roe deer and other medium and large wild animals. Also suitable for family life, if used it is possible to make it live even at home, even if it shows its best side when it is found in wooded and wild areas.

The chest is not excessively broad, with the rib cage descending and deep and long ribs reaching the hips.

The limbs are strongly muscled and the feet are spoon-shaped. The gait of the Bavarian mountain hound she is casual and loose. The coat is adherent, thick and choir, moderately hard to the touch with little sheen, finer on the head and ears, while it is longer on the belly and thighs.
