Pakwerk Canine

Pakwerk Canine raises Hanoverian scenthounds in Pueblo, Colorado, with a working-dog focus that sets the program apart from most North American breeders of the breed. Founded by Stephanie S Pack, the kennel is based in the Arkansas Valley region, roughly an hour south of Colorado Springs.

The program is built around European import lines, drawing specifically from private hunters in Hungary and Slovakia whose dogs were selected for high drive, social temperament, and environmental soundness. Pakwerk is also noted as the first Hanoverian scenthound breeder to partner with UC Davis on a genetic diversity program for the breed, and among the first to DNA-test individual puppies in addition to breeding pairs. Health screening covers hips, elbows, cardiac, eyes, and additional markers.

A defining aspect of the program is the requirement that breeding females actively work — dogs that do not work are not bred. The kennel retains select puppies from each litter to evaluate them in the field, prioritizing candidates suited for man-tracking, trailing, detection, and wounded-game tracking. For those searching for Hanoverian scenthound breeders in Colorado, Pakwerk's sourcing directly from European working lines and its emphasis on genetic health records make it a program oriented toward serious working-dog owners.
