Drever

The Drever is a breed of dog, a short-legged scenthound from Sweden used for hunting deer and other game.

The Drever's most noticeable characteristics are its long body and short legs, inherited from the Westphalian Dachsbracke, but as a working dog, these features are not exaggerated.

[citation needed]) The breed has the typical drop (hanging) ears of a hound, and a long tail.

"[1] By the 1940s, there were two distinctive sizes of the Dachsbracke, and a newspaper contest was held in 1947 to choose the new name for the slightly larger variety; Drever was chosen, from the Swedish word drev, referring to a type of hunt where the dogs drive the game towards the hunter.

The American Kennel Club currently recognizes Drever in its Foundation Stock Service program.
