History
The Ogar Polski is a very old dog breed whose origins date back to the 13th century in Poland. It was originally used by nobles and large landowners to hunt deer and wild boar. These dogs were valued for their ability to follow a trail over long distances and even over several days. In the centuries that followed, the Ogar Polski developed into an indispensable aid in hunting and was also used by the common people to hunt small game. The breed was only officially recognized and standardized by the Polish Breeding Association in the 1960s. However, since the breed is mainly widespread in Poland and is rarely found outside the country, it is little known internationally.
The Ogar polski was bred to hunt wild boar and other large game species.

Character
The Ogar Polski is a friendly and outgoing dog that builds a close bond with its caregiver. He is intelligent and quick to learn, which makes his work as a running and bloodhound easier. His keen sense of smell and desire to please his people make him an excellent working dog. His temperament is balanced. He is neither hyperactive nor overly calm, but likes to move and enjoy his work. His stamina allows him to go on long walks and jogs with you, but he is also happy with cozy hours at home. Although the Ogar Polski is an excellent hunting dog, he is a calm and even-tempered companion around the house. He can easily learn to stay alone as long as he gets used to it from the start. However, he should not be left alone for too long as he builds a close bond with his family and enjoys being around them. Its hunting instinct is strong, which should be taken into account when walking in forest areas. However, with appropriate education and training, he can learn to control this urge.

The Ogar Polski is a very people-oriented dog that bonds closely with its caregivers and enjoys being around them. He is friendly with children and can be a great family dog if socialized properly. However, you should keep in mind that due to his passion for hunting and his need for exercise, he is not suitable for every household. He has a natural alert instinct and will react alertly to unusual noises or movements. However, he is not an aggressive dog and will usually only bark to get attention. With good socialization and training, he can learn to remain calm in such situations and not to react excessively. The Ogar Polski's upbringing is typically straightforward due to its intelligence and desire to please its people. He is a quick learner and responds well to positive reinforcement. However, his upbringing should be consistent and patient as he sometimes has a mind of his own. The price-performance ratio for an Ogar Polski puppy in Germany is usually around 800 euros, but can vary depending on the breeder and line. It is important to do your research before purchasing a puppy and choose a reputable breeder to ensure the puppy is healthy and well socialized. All in all, the Ogar Polski is a versatile and robust dog that cuts a fine figure both as a working dog and as a family dog. His friendly and adaptable nature makes him an ideal companion for active people and families.

Fun Fact!
What to Expect
Care
The Ogar Polski is more suited to life in the country or in a house with a large garden due to its stamina and urge to move. A city apartment may be too cramped for him unless regular, long walks or jogs are undertaken. The Ogar Polski is friendly and good-natured towards children, so it can be a good choice for families. However, other pets, especially cats, can be problematic due to his hunting instincts. Early and good socialization is crucial here.

Training & Education
As an intelligent and willing dog to learn, the Ogar Polski is quite easy to raise and train. However, his passion for hunting and his strong urge to move must be taken into account. Therefore, it is important to promote his skills and potential through appropriate activities such as mantrailing or search games. However, you should be careful not to overwhelm the dog or turn it into a “ball junkie”. Impulse control and frustration tolerance are key skills that should be trained from the start in order to enable harmonious coexistence.
Nutrition & Grooming
The Ogar Polski needs a balanced diet that covers its energy needs. As an active breed, they require a protein-rich diet that provides enough energy for their physical activity. Fruit and vegetables, as well as enough fresh water, should also be part of your daily diet. Grooming the Ogar Polski is relatively easy as its coat is short and dense, but without an undercoat. Regular brushing will help remove loose hair and keep the coat healthy. The Ogar Polski sheds moderately and is therefore also suitable for people with mild allergies.
