Halden Hound

Grooming

Halden Hounds have a harsh, dense, and straight outer coat and a dense undercoat. Regular brushing is required for Halden Hound to keep them looking good. Their main color is white with black patches, and tan shadings on the head and legs.

You will also have to check their ears regularly for any signs of infections (bad odor, redness, etc.). You can wipe their ears with a cotton ball dipped into an ear cleaner. Halden Hounds' teeth should be brushed weekly to remove tartar build-up and to secure fresh breath and healthy gums. Their nails should be trimmed when you hear their nails clicking on the floor.

Exercise

This is a high-energy dog that requires daily activity to spend his energy. Halden Hound will enjoy all the fun activities such as long walks, hiking, canine sports, or just playing with his owner. To make this dog happy, you will have to devote your time to playing sessions if you don't want him to develop behavior problems. In fact, they will become bored and destructive if they don't spend all their energy outside.

Socialization

Since this is a hunting dog breed, early socialization is a must. From the moment you bring your Halden Hound home, start the socialization process. That way, you can be sure that your dog will develop into a well-behaved dog with whom you will not have any problems later in life.

The best thing you can do is expose your dog to many different situations, people, dogs, animals and sounds to learn how to react properly. You can even socialize with your dog at home: dress differently and act differently so your dog can’t recognize you immediately.

Halden Hound and kids

As a pet, the Halden Hound can be wonderful. They get along great with all family members and love spending time with them. They especially love kids, and they can be great playing partners for them.

No matter how good your dog is, you should never let them play without supervision so that any unwanted behavior would emerge (nipping, tail pulling, etc.)

Halden Hound and other animals

These dogs can get along well with other dogs and can enjoy their company. However, every dog should be socialized and properly introduced to other pets, no matter what breed they are. Take your time, and even if your dog doesn’t react well on your first try doesn’t mean they won’t get along.

Health

Halden Hounds have a life expectancy of 11-13 years. They are generally healthy dogs, but they can be prone to some health problems. These problems include:

• Hip dysplasia
• Ear infections

To be sure that your dog will not develop any inherited diseases, we advise you to only buy it from a responsible and official dog breeder. Those breeders regularly perform various health tests on their breeding dogs so they can be sure that their puppies will not develop inherited problems.

Halden Hound breeders
