Crown Prince Rudolph of Habsburg stipulated that his professional huntsmen take Alpine Dachsbrackes with them on hunting trips to Turkey and Egypt in the early 1880’s. As the Alpine Erzegebirge Dachsbracke, the breed became the third scenthound to be recognized in Austria in 1932. The name was shortened in 1975 and the F.C.I. recognized Austria as its native country, placing it in its group 6 (Scenthounds and related Breeds) in 1991.These sturdy hunting dogs are short-legged but robustly built, with well developed bones and firm muscles.
