🐾 Origins & vibes
Born in Norway at the end of the 19th century, the Hygenhund is the result of the work of a breeder, H. F. Hygen. By mixing Swiss, German, and Scandinavian hounds, he created a tireless hunting machine. The result? A robust, enduring, and ultra-efficient dog in forests or mountains. But outside of Norway, it remains a well-kept secret.
💪 Profile & Energy
