Premise: The Hanover Hound is a breed of dog sometimes referred to as a Hanoverian Hound. It is a hunting and tracking dog descended from bloodhounds of medieval times. It was first introduced into France in the 1980s and is still a very rare breed. It was cross-bred with the Bavarian Hound which gave rise to the Bavarian Mountain Hound.
Hypothesis: Because the Hanover Hound is part of the cross-breeding in creating new species, its contribution in creating the new breed Bavarian Mountain Hound will make it a very rare breed.
