History
The Fédération Cynologique Internationale, Europe's major kennel club, does not recognize the Pachón Navarro at this time.
The Pachón Navarro is thought to have descended from the Talbot hound and other hounds, originating in the 12th century.
The breed is believed to have reached its apex of popularity among Spanish nobility of the 18th and 19th centuries, becoming nearly extinct after the Spanish Civil War. A few enthusiasts scoured the country and have re-established breeding stock.
The Double-nosed Andean tiger hound found in South America is presumed to be descended from Pachón Navarro dogs brought by the Spanish Conquistadors in the 16th century.
