This breed is known for its exceptional tracking ability and strong prey drive. Montenegrin Mountain Hounds are generally small to medium-sized dogs, weighing up to 40 pounds. Their temperament is often described as calm, gentle, and highly intelligent. Their original purpose was to hunt wild game in the rugged mountains of Montenegro.
