Drever Personality

    Wishing to bring a pet dog into your home? Some canine breeds are much easier to own than others, specifically for newbie dog parents.

    To identify the easiest canine breeds to own, we looked at a number of essential characteristics. And you might be shocked by the traits that matter most. For example, you might think you want a smart dog. But highly smart dogs aren't always the easiest to train, because trainability is more about a dog's desire to follow instructions than his capability to understand them.

    You might think an energetic dog will be the simplest to keep healthy. But a dog with a lower energy level and no genetic predisposition to disease will really be easier to handle. Plus, choosing a dog with an easygoing temperament - and minimal grooming needs - will go a long way toward keeping you sane.

    Top 5 Easiest Dog's To Own

    1. Beagle - The beagle is among the top 10 most popular breeds for good reason: He has a bigger-than-life character and a merry nature that make him a warm and pleasant companion.

    2. Border Terrier - The border terrier is very "joyful," "plucky," and "caring." This dog has a medium energy level but a more laid-back personality than many other terriers.

    3. Bulldog - If you want a patient and mellow canine, you can't make a mistake with the bulldog. You can effectively train your bulldog - particularly if you use lots of praise and rewards and keep a sense of humor.

    4. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - They can be loyal hiking partners or shameless couch potatoes, relying on the owner's personality - as long as they get an enjoyable walk each day.

    5. Basset Hound - These medium-sized dogs aren't very active. And while most dog owners won't put the basset hound's hunting prowess to the test, they'll treasure the breed's absolute patience with children.

Drever Dog Traits

Drever Information

The Drever's most noticeable characteristic are its long body and short legs, inherited from the Westphalian Dachsbracke, but as a working dog these features are not exaggerated. It has short fur, and is of any color with white markings (but not all white, which has been linked to deafness.) The breed has the typical drop (hanging) ears of a hound, and a long tail. The maximum height of a Drever is 38 cm (15 ins) at the withers, which is about 15 cm (approx. 6 ins) shorter than a long legged hunting hound with the same size body. The Westphalian Dachsbracke is about 2 cm (less than an inch) shorter than the Drever.

Alert, calm, friendly and even, the Drever is known for the ongoing slight wag of his tail. The Drever often wants to continue working long after its human companion has satisfied his own hunting instinct. It has a first-class nose and is a powerful tracker. Because of its short legs, it is slower than other hounds. This makes it ideal for maneuvering game toward the hunter's gun. The Drever is a steady worker that hunts hare, fox, and occasionally deer; but this dog has the courage to pit himself against even a wild boar. In such cases, he circles and dodges the prey, warning the hunter by barking furiously. The Drever has an excellent nose and a musical voice which is much larger than his size would seem to warrant. The Drever was bred to be tenacious on the hunt and therefore it is very important that the owners of this breed are just as stern when dealing with him in order to show him where his place is among his human pack. Owners who are determined and consistent with the rules, displaying a natural firm but not harsh authority over the dog will bring out the best in this breed. Passive owners will find the dog to become stubborn and headstrong. Drevers that lack in mental and physical exercise and/or leadership will develop quirks in their temperament. Socialize this dog well.
