The tricoloured scent hound has the same origins as the other Balkan scent hounds. In 1946 the theory that it was merely a variety of the Serbian Hound was refuted and it was granted breed status with a first standard. It was shown at the Belgrade International Dog Show in June 1950 and the FCI published the standard on 25 July 1961.
