History French Tricolour Hound

The true ancestry of French Scent hounds It will probably never be discovered as most early breeders didn't bother to keep any breeding records.. But, it can be stated with quite certainty that the breed was created by mixing live and now extinct breeds of French and English Scent hounds.

The French Tricolour Hound it is a breed of recent creation (1957), probably comes from the crossing of the Great Anglo-French tricolor hound with the Poitevin hound, the Billy and possibly the Great Gascony Blue. The standard is of the year 1965.

The French Tricolour Hound kept solely for hunting in large packs. Its largest quarry were large wild animals such as deer, the wolf and the boar. A group of several hounds detected the scent trail of one of these mammals and chased it., barking loudly so the hunter could go after them. Depending on the type of animal pursued, the dogs were to corner him or kill him immediately.

The number of copies decreased drastically after two world wars. French hunting enthusiasts managed to save her, although many unique French breeds were lost to the world during these terrible times.

At present its breeding and therefore its population are supported solely by the French hunting community. In general, the future of French Tricolour Hound you will be fairly insured as long as there are fans of dog hunting in your homeland.

  • Weight: approx.. 30 kg

    • Character and skills French Tricolour Hound

    The only function of French Tricolour Hound is hunting, so it is difficult to make a generalization regarding their behavior patterns and temperament in a home environment. But, it is not necessary to suggest that a socialized specimen can become an educated and balanced family pet. Like most tracking hounds, he is gentle with children and likes to be a part of their various activities.. This dog is probably too energetic and playful to be a suitable companion for a child..

    The French Tricolour Hound tends to become somewhat distant and reserved in the presence of strangers. But, will never show open aggressiveness unless they suspect that something or someone threatens their family. Some of these dogs are vigilant enough to perform surveillance duties. This sociable and caring breed will make a terrible guardian, that he would rather greet an intruder by wagging his tail than resorting to necessary actions.

    Canine aggressiveness is considered a major defect in the temperament of hounds, that were developed for herd hunting. For this reason, members with the slightest hint of this undesirable characteristic are immediately excluded from the breeding program. The French Tricolour Hound is known for its exceptional tolerance towards other canines. Despite his excessively peaceful nature, also requires early socialization in this regard.

    Character and skills

    The Lucerne Hound is a lively dog, but gentle and docile. Very attached to his master.

    French White and Black Hound

    Of the three French Scent hounds, the French White and Black Hound, is the best known.

    Content

    The French White and Black Hound is a competent olfactory hound of French origin. It was specifically developed for hunting in large packs and today this breed is acquired exclusively for hunting.. Despite her fabulous work skills, it can be found very rarely not only in European countries but also in its native France.

    History

    Before the french revolution, hunting with large packs was one of the favorite pastimes of the French nobility. It also, it also offered the opportunity to establish trade relations and resolve global political and economic issues.. Unfortunately, the demise of the French upper class during times of political turmoil also meant the demise of numerous varieties of tracker hounds. After Napoleon's defeat, monarchical power was rebuilt and hound hunting regained its popularity. Thanks to technological advances in maritime traffic, dog breeding became a much less difficult task and many British hounds were sent to France during the period between 1815 and 1900.

    The true ancestry of the French Hound will probably never be discovered as most early breeders did not bother to keep any breeding records.. However, it can be stated with quite certainty that the breed was created by mixing live and now extinct breeds of French and English hounds. The Saintongeois, Gascon Saintongeois and Poitevin hound were the main ancestors of the French White and Black Hound. It is commonly believed that other breeds were used on a rather limited basis in their breeding program..

    The French Scent hounds kept solely for hunting in large packs. Its largest quarry were large wild animals such as deer, the wolf and the boar. A group of several hounds detected the scent trail of one of these mammals and chased it., barking loudly so the hunter could go after them. Depending on the type of animal pursued, the dogs were to corner him or kill him immediately.

    The number of specimens of this breed of hound drastically decreased after two world wars. French hunting enthusiasts managed to save her, although many unique French breeds were lost to the world during these terrible times. In 1957, the French Hound was fully recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). But, FCI recognition hardly increased the international awareness of this dog, so he did not win the appreciation of hunters from other countries. It also, currently their breeding and therefore their population are supported solely by the French hunting community. In general, the future of French White and Black Hound you will be fairly insured as long as there are fans of dog hunting in your homeland.
