TheBruno Jura Hound is abreed ofscenthound from theJura Mountains on theFrench-Swiss border.
The Bruno Jura Hound is a medium-sized hound; it is usually black and tan or two-tone brown in colour with no white at all.[1][2][3] The Bruno Jura Hound closely resembles the largerSt. Hubert Jura Hound, to which it is closely related, although it has less pendulous dewlaps.[2]
Both the Bruno Jura and St. Hubert Jura Hounds are closely related to nearby French hounds; all are believed to have descended from theSt. Hubert Hound. The breed is found on both sides of theFrench-Swiss border; some writers believe it is French in origin, but most describe it as Swiss.[1][2][3][4]
The Bruno Jura Hound is used by hunters in theJura Mountains on the Swiss side of the French-Swiss border to huntfox,hare and smalldeer; it is said to be a very capable follower of faint scents, making it highly valued by local hunters when hunting in the arduous terrain in the area.[2][3]
