Most, if not all, of this article is copied from http://home.online.no/~sivertb/drever.htm. Calineed 18:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Re-write

I've re-written this text using the original material as a base, and editing it down somewhat. I've also removed the clean-up and copy tags after the re-write -- if someone feels this is still too close to the original, the tags can be restored. I used the breed standard links in the infobox for further information.Accounting4Taste 22:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Recent Edits I've Made on the Drever Page

Since becoming a Drever owner and having done some research on the breed, I've made some edits in the article. For more details on my changes, I've summarized the edits whenever I've made them under "history".

Changes include the following:

1. added location of dog to include Finland; deleted the word "relatively" regarding commoness in N. America; inserted the words "may have" regarding origin 2. ckc spelled out; clarified breed source; added external links Other than the source is a german hound, the origin of the breed appears to be somewhat in doubt. There was no conclusive statement that I could find that the german hounds were bred with beagles, so I added the word "may" before the section about breeding with beagles. 3. I changed German Dachsbracke to Westphalian Dachsbracke, which was supported by most things I read. 4. I also added which kennel clubs recognize the breed.

Generally, I've tried to make the article more precise and accurate (for example, the article said Drevers were "relatively" unknown in North America. Since there are likely no more than 10-20 known Drevers in North America, I thought the modifier was unnecessary.) I also added links to the kennel clubs that recognize the breed. --kraljevica (talk) 23:33, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

There are more than 10 Drevers in British Columbia, Canada alone. Accounting4Taste:talk 00:13, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure if that is accurate but I will ask my breeder. As far as she knows (and she shows dogs frequently), there are no Drever breeders in BC now that she has "fixed" her breeding pair. Now, that would not mean, of course, that there aren't more than 10 Drevers in BC. There could be. Anyway, I think the point is that even if there were 10 Drevers in every Canadian province and US State (which there is not), that's still an extremely rare breed.

Are you referring to Ulli? A friend owns a Drever from her line, and that's where I got the information. I wouldn't disagree that this is a very rare breed, certainly. The point I was trying to make was that even though there aren't many in the US, the breed still exists elsewhere and is recognized. Accounting4Taste:talk 16:48, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Additional Ideas for the Page: Origin of the word "Drever"

Everything I've read has always said that "drever" means "hunter" or "to hunt" in Swedish. However, if online dictionaries are to be believed, Drev or Drever does not mean hunt or hunter. The Swedish words for hunt and hunter appear to be "jaga" and "jagare". Them I saw this link [[1]] which says that drever ("loosely translated") means "drive". It appears that the word drive may translate as: "driva". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexandanu (talk • contribs) 00:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Will add photos and further links

I have many drever photos: different colors, etc.

Also, I will add a link regarding possible Drever use as mine-sniffing dogs —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexandanu (talk • contribs) 00:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
