Exercise |
This breed needs a
daily, long walk. Like many other big breeds it is important
not to over excise your young Broholmer as it would be bad for their hips (HD)
since the bones are not developed yet. Maybe 15 minutes 2 times a day.

Origin |
The Danish Broholmer originated in Denmark.
As a type this breed has been known since the Middle Ages, when it was used for
hunting (stag-hunting). Later on it was used mainly as a guard dog for large
farms and manors. At the end of the18th century these dogs were breeding pure
and increased in number thanks to the royal game keeper Sehested of Broholm,
from where the breed has inherited its name. After the Second World War the
breed almost became extinct, but around 1975 a group of committed people
organized a group called "The Society for Reconstruction of the Broholmer
Breed". They were supported by the Danish Kennel Club and began the work of
reviving the breed. |
