Overview: Well-balanced, medium height, rough-coated hound. Slightly longer than height at withers, with straight forelegs. A friendly and intelligent looking hound with noble bearing.
Breed Group: Hound
Weight (lbs): 31-40
Height (in): 15 -17
Colors: White, with any combination of lemon, orange, sable, grizzle or black markings. Tri-colour.
Coat: Rough, of moderate length, with a flat structure, never silky or woolly, fringing not too abundant; thick undercoat. The coat may be tidied, but over-trimming or stylising should be penalised.
Character: A strong, active and courageous hound, possessing great stamina, with a good voice freely used.
Temperament: Happy and outgoing. Independent and a little stubborn, not easily agitated yet willing to please with firm handling.
Care: The coat needs weekly brushing and occasional tidying of straggling hairs.
Training: energetic and independent but they are not naturally obedient. They must be taught to know who is top dog in their family situation. They require consistent training and socialisation, especially throughout adolescence. They do need a secure garden as they will be off if they get the scent of small game. They are not a breed for the faint hearted, owners will need patience and tolerance.
Activity: requires plenty of exercise and lots of time outside. They are full of life and love hunting and other outdoor activities. They never seem able to sit still for long and so are ideally suited for active homes in the country.
Country of Origin: France
Health Issue: Juvenile pain syndrome, Epilepsy, Hypothyroidism, Hip dysplasia.
Life Expectancy: 14
