This cheerful black and tan is currently the only Greek breed recognized internationally.
Hellenic Hounds are very hardy dogs that hunt alone or in packs. They can work in most any terrain, from plains to mountains, even the most impractical, such as rocky crags. As scenthounds they have a well developed sense of smell and a resonant, harmonious voice. Those in the know praise their even character and stamina.
