Summary:

The Drever is a small but sturdy hunting dog from Sweden, known for its keen sense of smell and endurance. Bred to track and drive game like deer and hare, the Drever is an excellent working dog with a strong prey drive. Despite their hunting origins, Drevers are friendly and even-tempered, making them good companions for active families.

Care:

Drevers have a dense, short coat that is relatively easy to care for. Regular brushing will help keep their coat clean and free of loose hairs. They are generally low-maintenance in terms of grooming, though their ears should be checked regularly to prevent infections. Due to their high energy levels, Drevers require daily exercise and mental stimulation. Long walks, playtime, and opportunities to explore their surroundings will keep them happy and healthy.

Conditions:

Drevers adapt well to various living environments, including both rural and urban settings, as long as they receive sufficient exercise. They are known for their determination and persistence, traits that serve them well in hunting but also mean they need consistent training. Drevers are good with children and can get along with other pets if properly socialized from an early age. They thrive in homes where they can participate in outdoor activities and be part of the family.
