History
The Danish Broholmer is from Denmark. People have known this breed since the middle ages, when it was predominately used as a stag hunter. Later, the Danish Broholmer was utilized as a guard dog for manors, farms, and estates. By the end of the 18th century, the Danish Broholmer was breeding purely, but it nearly became extinct after the Second World War. A group of people committed to the breed’s survival were able to reconstruct and re-develop the Danish Broholmer. It is still a very rare breed.
Maintenance
The coat of the Danish Broholmer requires very little grooming or maintenance. Brushing with a firm bristle brush can help to assist the shedding process. This breed is a seasonal heavy shedder.
Ideal Environment
The Danish Broholmer needs plenty of exercise and physical activity. As puppies, too much vigorous activity is not recommended. Over-exercising a Danish Broholmer pup can lead to hip problems and hinder bone growth.
