Meet the Tatra Hound!

A new breed of dog had its first litter of puppies.

The Tatra Hound (also called Tatras Hound), a mix of Dachshund and Slovak Hound, has been in the breeding stages for two years. Breeders believe they have finally reached perfection.

The mother to the short-legged, long-bodied animal gave birth to her first litter this week.

The black and brown puppies are bred for hunting and intelligence.

They grow to a height of about 16 inches, but are longer in the torso.
 

What is a Slovak Hound, you ask?
(same questions I had!)

It appears that the Tatra Hound is just a "short-leg" version of this dog.
Whatever the case...
Cute, cute, puppies!!!
