Francais Blanc et Orange – General Description
The Chien Francais Blanc et Orange, translated into English as the French White and Orange Hound, is a breed of dog of the scenthound type, originating in France. The breed is used for hunting in packs and descends from the old Hound of Saintonge type of large hunting dog.
Classification and Standards
- FCI Group 6, Section 1.1, #316
- UKC Scenthound Group
Character & Temperament
Temperament of individual dogs may vary, but in general dogs bred to be pack hunting dogs do not make good pets.
History
The Francais Blanc et Orange are pack hunting dogs, which means that groups of dogs are hunted together, always directed by a human, not running about hunting by themselves.
Size & Appearance
The breed is a typical large French hunting pack hound, with a lean and muscular body, long legs, slightly domed head, long drop ears, and slightly square flews. Size is 23.6 inches to a maxium size of 27.6 inches (62 to 70 cm) at the withers, making it slightly smaller than the Chien Francais blanc et noir.
The color of the coat is white and orange, but the orange should never appear to be a red color. The dog’s skin is the same color as the fur, orange under the orange fur and white under the white fur. Faults are listed as physical or behavioral abnormalities, and a dog with such faults should not be bred.
The breed is noted for its perseverance on the hunt as well as a good nose and voice. Unusual for pack dogs, it is friendly and easy for humans to manage.
Health & Maintenance
No unusual health problems or claims of extraordinary health have been documented for this breed.
