The Polish Hound, commonly known as Ogar Polski, is a breed of hunting dog indigenous to Poland.[1][2] The Polish Hound has a keen sense of smell. This heightened sense combined with the endurance needed to hunt in harsh environments led to its use in hunting, while its stature made it popular with Polish nobility.
