Vazhein Hounds

Originating from the northern mountains of Mirau, Vazhein Hounds are said to be decedents of ancient Canis miroua [Mirauan Common Hound] domesticated and selectively bred by the local Yirsi populace for hunting and protecting their livestock.

Compared to their modern cousins, these hounds are quite larger, closer to the size of wolves. Albeit most of their height being in long strong legs used for climbing up various surfaces. They have a slick pelt and sharp pointed ears, formally coming in hues of browns, selective breeding has made those with pitch-black pelts a very popular choice in modern times, as well as a recent rise of a gene causing floppy ears. Depending on the pairing, you can get yourself a decent variety. Like their modern cousins and ancestors, these hounds have a great climbing ability, which has been found useful many times when it comes to hunting down trickier wildlife.

These hounds do best as a pair or a small group, being very loyal to their pack and their masters. These are working dogs, meaning that without the right lifestyle, they could potentially become anxious and aggressive, even climbing themselves into dangerous situations as an outlet. Owners may find they have to train these hounds from an early age to not try to climb atop their dressers and shelves, especially as they grow in size. However, Vazhein Hounds with the proper exercise and lifestyle make excellent pets as well as hunting and guard dogs [as they were bred to do].
