Nature and use

[edit]

It is characterized by intelligence, temperament with good controllability, balanced nature, without signs of aggression or timidity towards the environment. He is friendly towards people. Despite his friendly nature, he is passionate at work and courageous when in contact with animals. He is persistent at work with an excellent sense of smell and orientation in the field. It is loud on a warm trail and near game. It is a breed that is not demanding on space and nutrition (also suitable for hunters living in the city, minimal requirements for transport by car), relatively easy to transport with regard to size (transport to a perch), durable, without significant health problems (especially hereditary diseases). Due to the expected application in practice, it is suitable for the work of a furrier and a dyer and can perform all field usability tests for these breeds.[3]

The Tatra durič comes in two color variants, black with well-defined brown or rust-brown markings or brown with shades from light brown to the so-called deer red, all with an admixture of black. Within the framework of the FCI system, this breed is classified in group No. 6.[4]
