Drever

If you’re looking for a loyal, hardworking companion that will remain alert to their surroundings, then look no further than the Drever. This purebred pup hails from Sweden and comes with some of the best qualities any dog can offer. Although they make great apartment dogs if active urban dwellers are willing to provide enough exercise and stimulation, these high-energy pups would likely be much happier in larger homes with yards where they have plenty of room to run around. Fortunately for all households – whether it’s single people or large families – these pooches do an excellent job at getting along well with everyone.

The Drever, also known as the Swedish Dachsbracke, is often listed in the top 20 most popular dog breeds of Sweden. With a unique look that resembles a Corgi mixed with Beagle characteristics and standing at small-to-medium size, this breed has existed for more than one hundred years!

Although it may have some similarities to other Dachshund types from Germany, because they share a distant ancestor (Westphalian Dachsbracke), its long body combined with short legs were specifically designed to help them track hares and foxes when they go underground or attempt evasive maneuvers.

If dog breeds were labeled after qualities of their personalities, then the Drever would be referred to as the ‘Wagging Tail’. Enamored by people, this friendly pup’s tail never stops wiggling when around them. Whilst he is an exceptional companion with some delightful traits, there are several drawbacks that come along with it too; his loud bark can cause a scene at times and his inclination for digging means he loves to re-landscape your yard! Nevertheless, these charming quirks all make up part of what makes him such an endearing breed.

Much like other working dogs, the Drever enjoys being independent-minded. But even with his occasional stubbornness, it’s easy to keep him content when you use reward-based training methods. Because he loves people and wants to please them so much, these tactics work best for this breed!

The Drever is an energetic and hardworking pooch who needs a lot of physical activity to keep him fit. He’ll thrive when he’s part of an active family that loves the outdoors, such as going on hikes or bike rides. Make sure you give your Drever two long walks every day – around one hour each! While they may be small in size, it would still be ideal for them to have access to a fenced yard so they can run about freely.

The Drever is a ‘Brush and Go’ breed, which means that there’s no need to spend lots of time grooming them. Their short coats are coarse and mud easily brushes off once it dries. There’s no requirement for regular bathing unless they get extraordinarily dirty!
