Serbian Tricolour Hound History

The Serbian Tricolour Hound can trace back its origins to the region of Yugoslavia, where the breed was first shown in 1950. Back in the 20th century, the breed was known as the Yugoslavian Tricolour Hound. The Serbian Tricolour Hound was one of the scent-hound breeds that are thought to have existed in the Balkan area for hundreds of years. Throughout these decades, all of the scent-hound breeds were considered to be different varieties of the same breed, the Serbian Hound.

Initially, the Serbian Tricolour Hound occupied a different geographic area from the Serbian Hound, which was bred mainly in Southern Serbia, rather than in the Eastern parts of Serbia. Despite the fact, that the breed might be in existence for hundreds of years, experts date the dogs most likely originated in the early 20th century, when breeders started to make a distinction between the scent-hound breeds, and focus more on preserving the Serbian Tricolour Hound’s unique tricolor coat. Thanks to the careful, selective, well-planned, and detailed breeding process from the beginning of the 20th century, in 1946, the Serbian Tricolour Hound got recognized as being a distinct breed. Consequently, a breed standard was finally drawn up and established with the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) in 1961. Interestingly, aside from the breed’s unique tricolor coats, there are not many significant differences that could separate them from any other scent-hound from the Balkans. After the collapse of Yugoslavia, in 1996, the breed’s name got changed from the Yugoslavian Tricolour Hound to the Serbian, so the name could finally reflect the breed’s true origins.

Just like other scent-hounds from the region, the Serbian Tricolour Hound was also bred to be a hunting companion. The dogs were mostly used for hunting smaller mammals, including hares and foxes, but some more tenacious specimens were used to hunt deer and wild boar. The breed is an outstandingly good hunter, capable to track down the prey over difficult lands.

Nowadays, as the traditions of hunting are disappearing and getting less attention, the Serbian Tricolour Hound has taken up a more domestic role as a family companion. As the dogs’ love for roaming the countryside remained, they are now mainly found as their owner’s companion on outdoor adventures, activities such as hikes, even being playdates for children. Almost for its entire existence, the breed remained in rarity outside of its native country. Today, most of the breed’s fanciers are based in Serbia.
