The Bulgarian Scenthound (Bulgarian: българско гонче, balgarsko gonche) is a dog breed from Bulgaria.[1][2][3] It originated in the Ludogorie region of northern Bulgaria, and is the most widely distributed smooth-haired hunting dog in Bulgaria.[1] It is a non-standardised breed but conforms to hound body morphology.[2]

The native breeds of the Balkans that are its closest relatives are the Greek Harehound, Serbian Hound, and the Transylvanian Hound.[1]
