Country of Origin, History of Drevers
Drever is a Swedish breed that rose from a mix of different breeds. It was developed from the Weshpalian Dachsbracke (now rare) and local hounds. The object had been to re-create the type of short-legged dog that was used to drive game towards the gun. Soon after its development the breed became the Swedish hunter’s favorite companion. The word Drever is derived from ‘Drev’, which means to hunt in Swedish. Now it is a most popular dog breed of Sweden.
