I have never heard of this dog until yesterday. I can't believe it's not more popular. Great looks, versatile, strong, and good with people. The complete package.

Dogs that are swimmers just make life easier. Have you ever had a dog that just sank?

No. I had an English Bulldog 25 years ago. She was a wonderful dog. Bold spirit trapped inside an unhealthy, over bred body. I was warned not to let her near water. English bulldogs supposedly can't swim. I took her to a dog park that had a pretty big lake. She spotted it and took off before I could stop her. She jumped in and literally swam across the entire lake. She loved water. From then on I took her to the beach regularly.

You also have another bulldog, right? I always thought they were a bit slow, but I never had problems with them. The neighbors had one, rarely did I hear it bark.

This was 25 years ago. They have short life spans. I still miss her. She was an English Bulldog. I now have a staffy and an American Bulldog. They are very different breeds, except for their brains, which are the best😀

Looks like a Great Dane and a beagle mixed

That makes sense. Who knows what the mix is? From the article:

The founder of the Swedish Kennel Club, Count Adolf Hamilton, bred the first Hamiltonstovare in the late 19th century using several breeds of hound, including some now-extinct German breeds and English Foxhounds and Harriers.
