BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: At the first dog show in Sweden in 1886 some 189 scent hounds were on exhibition. Among them were a sister and brother, named Tamburini and Ralla 1, owned by a farmer, Per Schiller. They descended from famous hounds kept at the Kaflås estate. These hounds were probably descending from Southern Germany. They were rather small, tan coloured with black mantle and slight white markings. The Schillerstövare was further founded on Swiss hounds and a considerable infusion of British hounds, mainly Harriers. The breed quickly became homogenous with the continental type dominating. The Schillerstövare was recognised as a breed by the Swedish KC in 1907.
