This isn't a flashy, multi-purpose breed, but a highly specialized tracking dog bred for one thing: relentlessly pursuing wounded game. Quarry: What a Hanoverian Scenthound Hunts The Hanoverian Scenthound's forte is tracking wounded ungulates. That means deer (primarily red deer, roe deer, and fallow deer), wild boar, and, in some regions, elk or moose. They are not typically used for birds, small game, or predators.
