The Drever is a short-legged European hound also known as the Swedish Dachsbracke. "Drev" is the Swedish word for "hunt". The Drever has a lot of stamina, and has become a popular hunting hound for deer hunters in northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland. This breed is usually kept as a hunting hound and is not usually found as a companion animal. The Drever is alert and self-possessed, has an affable, even temperament, and is rarely overly aggressive or shy.
