Oefening
Needs long daily outings, ideally including hunting, tracking or off-road walks on a long line.
Versorging

Opleiding
Cooperative but independent on a scent; early recall training and patience pay off.
Gesondheid
Hip dysplasia occurs, and merle-to-merle breedings must be avoided because of hearing and eye problems. Ask the breeder for results.

Oor die ras
The Dunker was developed in Norway in the 19th century by Wilhelm Dunker, who crossed local hounds with a Russian harlequin hound to get a hardy dog for hare hunting. It is used singly, finding hare and following it with a steady voice through forest and snow.
It is a medium-sized, well-built hound, black or blue merle with tan, often with white markings and sometimes blue eyes. Most Dunkers live with hunters, and the breed is rare outside Norway. At home it is calm and affectionate, but it is a working hound that needs real outdoor time.
Het jy geweet?
The breed is named after Wilhelm Conrad Dunker, a Norwegian officer who developed it in the 1800s.
