Bruno Jura hound
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bruno Jura hound is a domestic dog, developed in the Middle Ages for hunting in the Jura Mountains on the Swiss-French border. They are found in a variety of colors and have a broad head and heavy wrinkles, which differentiate it from the other Swiss hounds. It is great at hunting fox, hare, and sometimes even small deer. The Bruno Jura Hound is an excellent scent follower and is capable of following the slightest trace of a scent over the tough terrain of the Jura mountains. It needs firm handling if kept solely for companionship. Its size is similar to that of the Schweizer Laufhund, but it differs in the broadness of its head. It is related to the Saint Hubert Hound. Its life expectancy is 12-13 years. It can weigh anywhere from 34 to 44 pounds and is from 17 to 23 inches tall.
