The Yugoslavian Tricolour Hound is a very rare dog breed from southern Yugoslavia. Black and tan with a white front (the white distinguishes him from the Yugoslavian Mountain Hound, a similar breed), he stands 18 to 22 inches (46-56 cm) high and weighs 44 to 55 pounds (20 to 25 kg). Used to hunt fox, hare and other small game, occasionally hunting larger animals such as deer or even wild boar, the Yugoslavian Tricolour is affectionate, gentle and a devoted hunter.

Recognised by the FCI (Group 6, Breed 229).
