At the first dog show in Sweden in 1886, 189 scent hounds were exhibited, among them a brother and sister, Tamburini and Ralla 1, owned by the farmer Per Schiller and descended from hounds of the Kaflås estate. The breed was further founded on Swiss hounds and a considerable infusion of British hounds, mainly Harriers, and was recognised by the Swedish Kennel Club in 1907.
