The Alpine Dachsbracke (Alpenländische Dachsbracke) is an Austrian scenthound bred for the mountain huntsman: a short-legged, sturdy, strong-boned dog used to track wounded deer and to hunt hare and fox. The FCI standard describes a robust, weather-resistant working dog with a dense double coat, standing 34–42 cm at the withers, ideally dark deer red or black with clearly defined red-brown markings. Its expression is given as intelligent and friendly, its personality as fearless.

Behaviour
Intelligent, friendly, fearless
The FCI standard's Behaviour / Temperament section reads in full: "Expression intelligent and friendly. Fearless personality." Weakness in temperament, and any dog that is aggressive or overly shy, are disqualifying faults, as is any deviation that would hinder the dog's ability to hunt.
