The short legs and relatively long body of the Drever make it ideal in hunting deer in difficult terrains. It is a scenthound native to Sweden, robust, agile, with well-developed muscles. The fur is short, covered with one color and white markings. Like most hounds, the relatively large ears are hanging while the tail is long. The long body and short leg features are inherited from the Westphalian Dachsbracke. The working dog may be kept as a pet because of its loyal and less aggressive nature, but it still can serve you well in any hunting expedition.
