Carpathians<\/h2>\n<p>The Transylvanian Hound<em>(Erd\u00e9lyi Kop\u00f3<\/em>) is an ancient Hungarian dog breed, bred for hunting big and small game in the Carpathian Mountains, with origins from Magyar and Polish dogs.<\/p>\n<p>The earliest records of the breed are attested in the <strong>Middle Ages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Il-Segugio-della-Transilvania-era-il-cane-da-caccia-preferito-dai-nobili\">The Transylvanian Hound was the favorite hunting dog of the nobility<\/h4>\n<p>At this time the<strong>Erdelyi Kopo<\/strong>, as it was commonly called in the eastern area, was the <strong>favorite hunting dog among the nobility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The development of agriculture subsequently prompted <strong>the abandonment of hunting<\/strong> in favor of cultivation with the result that the hound&#8217;s presence in the territory was reduced to the point of near extinction.<\/p>\n<p>Its use was confined to the inaccessible mountains and forests of the Carpathians.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, when the Romanians conquered Transylvania,<span class=\"s1\"> to give a clear sign of supremacy and emphasize their new presence in the territory, they also decided to <strong>exterminate the hound.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, since the 1960s, Hungarian enthusiasts have undertaken serious recovery work based on the few remaining specimens, bringing the breed back into vogue.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Il-riconoscimento-della-razza\">The recognition of race<\/h4>\n<p>In <strong>1968<\/strong> the <strong>FCI standard<\/strong> was published.<\/p>\n<p>This standard provided a basis for the protection of the breed, ensuring that breeders follow specific guidelines to preserve the genetic and behavioral characteristics of the Transylvanian Hound.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the population of the Transylvanian Bloodhound is growing, with several breeders dedicated to its conservation and promotion in Romania and abroad.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Caratteristiche-fisiche-e-aspetto-del-Segugio-della-Transilvania\">Physical characteristics and appearance of the Transylvanian Hound<\/h4>\n<p>It is characterized by a jointed, muscular body with drooping ears and an elongated muzzle.<\/p>\n<p>The paws are solid and sturdy, enabling them to hunt in the roughest terrain.<\/p>\n<p>The lesser variety of these dogs range from 45 to 50 centimeters at the withers, while the greater variety range from 55 to 65 centimeters.<\/p>\n<p>The weight of a Transylvanian bloodhound can vary between 20 and 30 kg, depending on size and sex.<\/p>\n<p>Its fur is <strong>short and dense<\/strong>, with a variety of colors ranging from <strong>black, to brown, to fawn, with possible white spots.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Il-temperamento-del-Segugio-della-Transilvania\">The temperament of the Transylvanian Hound<\/h4>\n<p>Lively and active, its ability to chase and sniff is a hallmark of the breed.<\/p>\n<p>Because of its excellent sense of smell, it is able to follow even very old tracks.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its past as a large- and small-game hunting dog, the Transylvanian hound is an excellent companion in urban settings as well.<\/p>\n<p>Affectionate and protective, it creates deep bonds with its humans and adapts well to family life, as long as it gets sufficient exercise: it is not a dog to be relegated to the couch, in short.<\/p>\n<p>Head down, nose to the ground, agile running, unerring nose and an extraordinary sense of direction: the Transylvanian Hound is an accomplished four-legged hiker who loves to scout and reach the most inaccessible ravines.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Le-patologie-a-cui-prestare-attenzione\">Pathologies to pay attention to<\/h4>\n<p>The Transylvanian Hound is a dog of solid health however, like many dog breeds, it can be prone to some diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Common ones include <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/en\/dog-hip-dysplasia-risk-breeds-symptoms-causes-and-treatments\/\">hip and elbow dysplasia<\/a>, eye problems, and skin allergies.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the conformation of its long ears, it is prone to ear infections like most hounds.<\/p>\n<p>It is essential to have regular veterinary checkups and follow an appropriate vaccination schedule.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To have your Transylvanian Bloodhound checked, for vaccines and periodic check-ups, contact the veterinary doctors on our staff who are always available to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We would also like to remind you that <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/en\/\">Clinica La Veterinaria<\/a> is always open h24 every day including holidays
