Description of a Dunker.

The breed is named after the Norwegian Wilhelm Dunker who bred this dog for hunting hares, at the beginning of the 19th century. To create the Dunker, Norwegian breeder, Wilhelm Dunker, crossed a Russian Harlequin Hound with reliable scent hounds, producing a dog that could hunt rabbits by scent, rather than sight, which is very helpful. It has yet to become popular outside of its homeland.
