Ariegeois
Dec 27, 2010
The Ariegeois is a breed of dog, specifically a French pack-hunting scenthound developed late in the last century. It is distinguished by its friendly nature with other hounds and affection for human companions.
Overall, the Ariegeois are talented scenthounds, and affectionate and serene in the home. Dogs of this breed are even-tempered and friendly. Some of them can be outgoing, while there are others that are reserved. These dogs, however, are never vicious or shy. As a working or hunting scenthound, the Ariegeois needs to work with other hounds and their handlers. Due to this, aggression towards people and other hounds is considered a fault. These dogs have a deep, powerful voice and a large amount of endurance.
