The Estonian Hound (Estonian: eesti hagijas) is a scent hound-like breed which is the only dog breed developed in Estonia. It was bred in 1947 when the Soviet Union's national economy ministry decided that every country in the Union must have its own dog breed. The Estonian Kennel Union is presently working on the recognition of the breed by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.

“Do you not hear me calling, white deer with no horns?
