The Alpine Dachsbracke, or Alpenlandischer Dachsbracke as it is called in Austria, was bred for hunting and tracking wounded prey such as hares and foxes. Although it is a hunting breed these are typically not aggressive dogs and instead are loyal, friendly and intelligent. The short coat makes them low maintenance as far as grooming, but they are naturally active and require daily walks.
Dachsbrackes are loyal dogs, will make good companions but are not necessarily family dogs or watchdogs. They can live in apartments as long as they receive enough exercise to burn off their energy. The Alpine Dachsbracke makes a good outdoor dog as long as the temperature is not too hot. This breed has no major health issues and has an expected lifespan of 12 years.
