Introduction
Some people may wonder what the Hamiltonstovare is and where they came from. The Hamiltonstovare is also known as the Hamilton Hound and was bred to hunt fox and hare in Sweden. The Hamiltonstovare started appearing in the United States in the late 1990s when people discovered their versatile abilities and trained them to be service dogs. Lovers of the breed refer to them as a multi-purpose dog. These dogs make excellent family companions; however, because they have a high prey drive small pets should never be left alone with the Hamiltonstovare. They are a typical hound and their stubbornness is legendary. It does take an experienced handler to properly train a Hamiltonstovare.
Hamiltonstovare Dog Names in Pop Culture
Most people will not know what the Hamiltonstovare looks like and will probably not be able to pick them out at the shows. However, Rolo is making people sit up and take notice of this unique, beautiful hound. Rolo or formally BIS TDRBIS Multi-RBIS Multi-BIG Multi-TD Grand Champion UWP Kilcavan Captain Flint CGC CM and 2014 ACE Honorable Mention, has been dazzling judges at UKC shows and collecting awards. Rolo was imported into the United States in June of 2012 by Oceania Hamiltonstovare. In 2016, Rolo competed at the UKC Premier held in Kalamazoo, Michigan and won Total Dog Reserve Best In Show under judge Linda Reece. Rolo became the first Hamiltonstovare to earn points toward his UKC Grand Championship and completed his Grand Championship by winning two Reserve Best in Show awards at the UKC Beltsville, Maryland shows. Rolo also cleaned up in the AKC show ring by completing his Certificate of Merit (CM) title with four Best of Breed wins, two group firsts, one group third, and one group fourth. He also won Best in Show that same weekend. Rolo is the first Hamiltonstovare to earn a CM title with the AKC. Rolo became the first male Hamiltonstovare to earn the AKC Canine Good Citizenship (CGC) title. Rolo is also the first Hamiltonstovare to earn a Weight Pulling Title through the UKC. UKC also has recorded Rolo as being the first Hamiltonstovare to earn a Total Dog Award. The Total Dog Award means that he qualified in a performance event and won in a conformation ring on the same day. Aside for performance and conformation events, Rolo has also been trained as a service dog and provides support for balance and mobility. The AKC’s Humane Fund also recognized Rolo’s accomplishments during their ACE Awards. He was given an Honorable Mention in the Service Dog category. ACE stands for Awards for Canine Excellence.
Oceania Hamiltonstovare is no stranger to the AKC’s Humane Fund ACE nominations. In 2013, Alice, MBVIS MBIS MRBIS MBIG Champion Kilcavan Alice’s Adventures CGC CGCA CM Pnt’d was nominated for an ACE award. Alice was imported into the United States in February of 2010.

Alice is the first Hamiltonstovare to earn a CGC title and became the fourth dog in history to earn the Advanced Canine Good Citizen (CGCA) title. She also is an avid hunter and loves participating in barn hunts. Alice has been spayed; therefore her AKC conformation career has ended.
Hamiltonstovare Dog Name Considerations
The Hamiltonstovare has a rather unique name and many people simply call them the Hamilton Hound. This Swedish bred hound is becoming more and more popular in the southern states, even though there are only a handful of breeders within the United States. The Hamiltonstovare is a typical hound dog and makes a silly, fun-loving companion for people of all ages. If not properly trained, the Hamiltonstovare can become a bit overwhelming and will try to take the top spot in the family. This breed also needs to be socialized beginning at an early age. Once you have decided to add a Hamiltonstovare to your family, it will be time to start thinking of a name for your new friend.
Since they hail from Sweden, you may want to start your search there; however, because some Swedish names are hard to pronounce, you will want to make sure everyone in the family can correctly pronounce the name. Do not make the final decision on your new Hamiltonstovare’s name until you have gotten to know their personality. Does your pup already think they are king of the castle? If so, the name Melker will suit. Many times, you will find the right name for them based on their individuality. Is your new addition petite and sweet? Carin may be the right fit. Take some time and let your puppy settle into their new home before you decide on their name.
