The Montenegrin Mountain Hound and Mudhol Hound are both used for what common purpose?
Montenegrin Mountain Hound The Montenegrin Mountain Hound is a rare dog breed from the mountain regions across the Balkans. Black and tan, with a smooth coat, the Montenegrin Mountain Hound was called "Black Hound" in the past. The breed is of the same origin as the other Balkan hounds. He stands 18 to high and weighs 44 to . The breed is used to hunt fox, hare, and small game, occasionally hunting larger animals such as deer or even wild boar.
Earthdog trial An earthdog trial tests the working ability and instinct of the small, often short-legged terriers or Dachshunds. These dogs were bred to hunt vermin and other quarry which lived in underground dens. Earthdog den trials involve man-made underground tunnels that the dogs must navigate, while scenting a rat, "the quarry." The dog must follow the scent to the quarry and then "work" the quarry. Depending on the sanctioning organization, “working” means barking, scratching, staring, pawing, digging; any active behavior. The quarry is protected at all times by wooden bars across the end of the tunnel. The hunting encounter is controlled, and neither the dog nor the quarry (usually two rats) are endangered by the activity.
