The Yugoslavian Mountain Hound is a very rare dog breed from the Planina region of southwestern Yugoslavia. Black and tan, smooth-coated, he is distinguished from the very similar Yugoslavian Tricolour Hound by his lack of that breed’s white front. He stands 18 to 22 inches (46-56 cm) high and weighs 44 to 55 pounds (20 to 25 kg). Like the Tricolour he is used to hunt fox, hare and small game, occasionally hunting larger animals such as deer or even wild boar.
Recognised by the FCI (Group 6, Breed 279).
