For what purpose the Hamiltonstövare dog and the Istrian Coarse-haired Hound are bred?
Istrian Coarse-haired Hound The Istrian Coarse-haired Hound (Croatian: "istarski oštrodlaki gonič" , Slovene: "istrski ostrodlaki gonič" ) is a dog breed from Croatia, developed in the mid-19th century for hunting fox and rabbit. It is a rough-coated scent hound still kept primarily as a hunting dog rather than as a pet.
Water dog Water dogs are a type of gun dog bred to flush and retrieve game from water, often serving the waterfowl hunter. Strong swimming desire is a characteristic of these dogs. Some of the oldest dog breeds are water dogs. The term was originally water spaniels (a misnomer, as not all are spaniels). With the advent of kennel clubs many "water spaniels" were accepted under the names including the designation retriever rather than spaniel.
