Be that as it may, the Austrian marriage is an amazing breed. It differs from other hounds in color: according to the standard, the coat must be black and tan, white spots are not allowed.
But in terms of character and working qualities, the Austrian Brakk is a real hound. Light bones, medium height and excellent endurance make this dog indispensable for mountain hunting. She walks both on a large animal, and on a small one, and even on a game.
Sensitive and attentive Brakki easily find a common language with people. They are devoted to their family and master, who is considered the leader of the pack. Representatives of the breed are quite loyal to children, they will obey a child of senior school age. Brandle Brakki treat other animals well, not all representatives of this breed strive for leadership, therefore they are often able to get along in the same house even with a cat.
As you might expect, Austrian hounds are very active dogs! Nothing brings Brundle Brak more pleasure than running kilometers, overcoming distances, playing sports together with the owner. That is why it is recommended to get such a dog for active people who are ready to spend a lot of time on the street and in nature.

Despite the fact that puppies learn quickly, the dog must be exercised regularly, then there will definitely not be problems with its behavior.
It is worth noting that, although they seem aristocratic and gentle, Brendle Bracca easily adapts to temperature changes and new surroundings. Especially if there is a beloved owner nearby.
Care
The short, smooth coat of the Austrian Hound does not require special care, even during the molting period. However, this does not mean that the dog does not need to be looked after. Lost hairs should be removed weekly with a comb or wet towel, and during shedding, the procedure should be carried out more often at least a couple of times a week.
Conditions of detention
It is easy to guess that the Austrian hound is not a dog for the city. She needs a lot of space to exercise. Therefore, a private house with a large yard and the opportunity to go to a park or forest is a necessity, not a whim.
It is interesting that in their homeland these dogs are rarely companions even now. Breed owners most often hunters maintain the working qualities of pets and improve them.
