Hungarian Hound
The Hungarian Hound (aka. Erdélyi Kopó, Transylvanian Bloodhound) is a breed of dog originating in Hungary. It was originally kept by Hungarian kings and princes for hunting various game (i.e. foxes, boar, etc).
Appearance and Size
The dog is very sleek in appearance. They carry themselves in a very erect and upright manner which lends itself to their regal heritage. Generally, the coat is black and tan (sometimes with white patches). The chest area underside is tan and/ or white, and the feet are tan or black. The hair is short (about 2 inches) and very course. The eyes are a dark brown with patches of tan above, and the ears are similar to those of a Beagle (wide at mid-point, and then taper to a rounded-v shape). Sizes: Large: 70-75 lb on average. Small: 50-55 lb average weight.
Personality
The dog is extremely loyal and friendly. They are very good natured and well mannered with both people and other dogs. They form strong attachments to their owners and are very protective of family members. It is very protective of its immediate territory (i.e. owners' house and yard), and will appear very ferocious with an intimidating bark and growl towards strangers; however, it will immediately accept anyone who is invited into the area by its owners. They enjoy constant companionship and tend to remain in the presence of their owners. The Hungarian Hound is an extremely intelligent breed, and is easily trained. They are good at problem solving.

Shooting Dogs in Romania
I came across this pack of hounds in Viseul de Sus, Maramures, which I visited for the new years break, with a bunch of friends. For those of you who don't know Romania, Maramures is supposed to be the most interesting part of Romania due to its rural traditions. It is heavily forested and locaed on the border with Ukraine and Hungary. Considering that these dogs were feral they were surprisingly friendly. They wanted to play, to show off, to make love, to chase, to be shown affection, to have fun, to eat (
