Serbian Tricolor Hound – General Description
The Serbian Tricolor Hound (srpski trobojni gonič or trobojac) is a breed of dog of the hound type. Formerly called the Yugoslavian Tricolor Hound, the name was changed for clarity after the break up of Yugoslavia in 1991. The Serbian Tricolor Hound is a medium-large scenthound that is hunted as a running hound (free running to seek game on its own, not on a leash.) It is used on feral pigs or wild boar and other large game as well as hare and fox.
Classification and Standards
- FCI Group 6, Section 1, #229
- UKC Scenthound Group
Character & Temperament
The Serbian Tricolor Hound is a devoted breed that loves its master without question and will loyally stand by him for all his life. It is a kindly breed but also a tenacious hunter that performs very well in the field and has been a very successful hunting companion for many years.
History
The Serbian Tricolor Hound is one of a group of scenthounds that has existed in the Balkans for a long time. For many years, the breed was regarded as simply a variety of other Serbian scenthounds, but in 1946 this was strongly refuted and the breed was granted independent status from other scenthounds and a standard was drawn up. The breed was first exhibited at shows in 1950. At one time it was considered a variation of the Serbian Hound, but was recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale as a separate breed in 1961.
Today, the Serbian Tricolor Hound is still popular in its native country of Serbia, although it is hardly seen beyond its borders.
Size & Appearance
Males stand between 18 to 22 inches (45 to 55 cm) and females 17½–21½ inches (44–54 cm) at the withers. They weigh 44 to 55 lbs (20 to 25 kg).
A medium-sized dog with a slightly rounded skull and a muzzle which is shorter than the skull. The nose is well developed and black. The almond-shaped eyes are medium-sized and preferable as dark as possible. The ears are set high and medium in length, carried in a pendulous style, hanging close to the cheeks. The neck is strong and slightly arched. The rectangular body has a straight top line and well-muscled, strong back. The forequarters are strong, straight, well muscled and parallel with muscular and solid shoulders. The hindquarters are strong, straight and parallel with strong and powerful thighs.
Health & Maintenance
No unusual health problems or claims of extraordinary health have been documented for this breed.

BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY :
The breed belongs to the group of scent hounds which have spread throughout the Balkan territory. It is thought that the scent hounds from Asia Minor played an important part in its genesis. The first description of this breed under the name of Balkan scent hound dates from 1005 ; for this we are endebted to Frank Laska who described this breed together with other scent hounds. The first standard was drawn up in 1924 , but it was only at its session in Bled on May 14th 1940 that the F.C.I. adopted the standards already announced in Stockholm in 1939 and among these was included that of the Balkan scent hound. Because the breed was most widespread in Serbia, it was the Yugoslav Cynological Association which controlled breeding and put in place the first registrations in the official stud book. On November 12th 1996,during its meeting in Copenhagen, the General Committee of the F .C.I. discussed the motion put forward by the annual general meeting of the Yugoslav Cynological Association, and accepted that the name Balkan scent hound be replaced by Serbian hound.
