The Alpine Dachsbracke is a small breed of dog of the scent hound type. The Alpine Dachsbracke was bred to track wounded deer as well as boar, hare, and fox. It is very capable of following a trail even after it has gone cold. This small dog has a slight resemblance to a Dachshund, with short legs (although longer than a dachshunds) and a long body. It has a coat that is dense and short but smooth except for the tail and neck. The round eyes have a very lively expression which is a major reson why people love this breed. Because of the fact that this dog is small it is able to stay indoors and will not cause any damage if trained properly. If the Alpine Dachsbracke does not get a high amount of exercise it may be very energetic and therefor destructful.

The Alpine Dachsbracke may be relatively small in size but it has a big personality and is extremely brave and fearless. These little dogs are loyal and intelligent and generally get on well with other dogs as well as children and have a calm, level character. This said, they do have a keen instinct to hunt, so it's important that potential owners socialise them well from the time they are pups, especially if you live in a household with smaller animals like cats.

The breed does not tend to suffer from separation anxiety, although as with any dog, should not be left alone for long periods of time. The Alpine Dachsbracke’s fearless and loyal nature means it can make a good guard dog, however, its size means it is not terribly imposing.

The Alpine Dachsbracke has a weatherproof, dense coat formed by two distinct layers. It does not require any special care, however, the density and thickness of the coat mean that the breed can shed heavily and therefore weekly brushing is recommended to prevent excessive hair loss around the house, especially during seasonal coat changes.

The Alpine Dachsbracke is a breed of dog found mainly in Austria where they are known as Alpenlandische Dachsbracke. In ancient times, hunters used a dog similar in appearance to the Alpine Dachsbracke for tracking and hunting. Hunters needed a dog that could track and hunt game in the high altitudes of Austria. Hence, they developed a dog with short legs from the indigenous dogs of Austria. Larger than the German Westphalian, these dogs can be used to hunt deer, rabbit, and fox. From 1881 to 1885, King Rudolph of Habsburg insisted on using these dogs for his hunting expeditions to Turkey and Egypt.
