Named after its founder, Swedish breeder Count Adolf Patrick Hamilton, this breed was developed in the late 1800s by crossing German and English hound breeds. Bred for solo hunting of hare and fox across Sweden's forests, their steady scenting ability made them favorites among Scandinavian hunters. The breed remains Sweden's national dog today, though it's rarer outside its native country.
