Chien Francais Tricolore – General Description
The Chien Francais Tricolore translated into English as the French Tricolor Hound, is a breed of dog of the scenthound type, originating in France. The breed is used for hunting in packs.
Classification and Standards
- FCI Group 6, Section 1.1, #219
- UKC Scenthound Group
Character & Temperament
The Chien Francais Tricolore are pack hunting dogs, which means that groups of dogs are hunted together, always directed by a human, not running about hunting by themselves. Dogs bred to be pack hunting dogs do not usually make good pets.[2]
History
The Chien Francais Tricolore is descended from crosses between tricolored Poitevins and Foxhounds. This combination has strongly influenced this breed in many ways. These animals are strong and compact in stature like the foxhound with a black blanketed tricolor coat. They were used as a pack dog to hunt large game such as Roe Deer, boar, or smaller animals such as fox.
Size & Appearance
The breed is a typical large French hunting pack hound, with a lean and muscular body, long legs, elongated head with a noticeable occipital protuberance, long drop ears, and slightly square flews. Size is 23.6 inches (62 cm) to a maxium size of 28.3 inches (72 cm) at the withers, females slightly smaller.
The coat is tricolor, with a wide black mantle, and tan parts are of a bright colour. A grizzled colour called “louvard” (“wolf-like”) is also seen in the breed. Faults are listed as physical or behavioral abnormalities, and a dog with such faults should not be bred. Faults include fat feet, aggression, or any trace of crossing with English hounds.[1]
Health & Maintenance
The short coat of a Chien Francais Tricolore is similar to the Chien Francais Blanc et Noir (French White and Black Hound) which needs very minimal grooming. The good condition of the coat can be enhanced with occasional brushing with a firm bristle brush or a rubdown with a chamois cloth. After a hunting trip the ears must be wiped clean to avoid infection.
