Chizer History
The Chizer is a dog with a life expectancy of 10-13 years. The Zagrebački Podruc or “Zagreb Hound” is a hound that originated in Croatia in the 15th century. The Croatian word “Podruka” means “pack”, and “Zagreb” is the capital city of that country. Therefore, the Zagrebac means “dog of the pack”. The breed was originally used by hunters to chase down the animals they were hunting, such as deer, foxes or rabbits. In the 1800s, the Zagrebac was imported to England, where it was known as the “Croatian Hound”. The Kennel Club in England recognized the Croatian Hound in 1885. The Dalmatian was also recognized as a distinct and separate breed at that time. The AKC officially recognized the “Croatian” in 1889, and the name was changed to “Dalmatian” in 1897.
