History

It has remote and completely unknown origins.: its official recognition dates back to after World War II, but the breed already existed for centuries.

While there are no historical records, the Slovenskรฝ Kopov is widely believed to have existed in central Europe for many hundreds of years and to have descended from other local breeds, including the Austrian Black and Tan Hound and the Polish Hound.

Not widely kept for any purpose other than hunting, the Slovakian Hound He has honed his hunting skills over the centuries and is respected within Slovakia for his tracking ability and endurance. Despite its proven track record in the field, rarely seen internationally. curiously, when seen internationally, It is sometimes called the "Black Forest Dog.", a completely wrong name, since the Slovakian Hound it's not now, and has never been, native to the Black Forest region.

Like many other breeds of dogs of the time, the population of the Slovakian Hound decreased dramatically during the period of the World Wars. It is attributed to a Slovak named Koloman Snail having brought the race from the brink of extinction at this time, by establishing successful breeding programs nationwide.

Officially accepted as a breed in the decade of 1870, the first club of the breed Slovakian Hound was recently formed in 1988, in the capital of Bratislava. The Slovakian Hound it is so popular in its birthplace that it has been named the national breed of Slovakia.

Character and skills

This determined hunter must be tenacious when on the road and courageous when facing the animals he hunts., like the boar and the deer. They have excellent olfactory abilities and will painstakingly trace a scent back to the source. An independent animal that is happy to work with a minimum of human interaction, the Slovakian Hound need little direction. Despite this, they are obedient, and they will happily follow their master's plans when necessary.

The Slovakian Hound it's a good watchdog, as he is continuously alert and observant. This, along with the fact that they become devoted to their owners, means they are often protective, and can be used successfully as watchdogs, becoming potentially aggressive if the situation calls for it. Barking can be a problem and is a common complaint of many owners.. Excessive barking can be prevented by ensuring that the Slovakian Hound you are not under-exercised and have plenty of activities and jobs to fill your day.

Health

The Slovakian Hound it is a very resistant dog. In the country of origin the owner has a dog, rarely from, who does not live in a kennel but in contact with the master from morning to night, often used as a general purpose dog, taking care of the house as well as the cattle, and of course hunting. It is adapted to outdoor life and has an iron constitution.

Care and maintenance

The Slovakian Hound it is a very resistant dog, no particular grooming problems. Short hair, when he comes back from hunting he will be the happiest in the world if you give him the necessary brushstroke for a superficial cleaning at the level of the spikes, caught between the pads, ticks possibly not yet attached.

He will quickly get used to coming to you for this cleaning because he is looking for contact with his master.

Qualities

It's a farm dog, the quintessential farm dog. Bad guys just do that. The good ones are able to give the voice, to take the lead by yelling or barking directly at any stranger before coming into view. A good Slovakian Hound should give voice instantly. Not after ten minutes (although, depending on the conditions…). The smell of Slovakian Hound it's excellent, as fine as that of the best Hounds, but his hunting style leads him to voice only in the moment, and of course staring.

The Slovakian Hound is a search engine, a hunting finder. Hunting instinct is among the best hounds, really very developed, off the beaten path as in some Warren hound and some representatives of primitive races.

Farm dog, you don't need to see the animal, the wild boar to bark after, like some pointing dogs that only bark at sight, or to the noise. With experience, depending on origins, will start barking after turning around to make sure the animal is ten meters away, or more. Once you have fired the bark it will zoom in pretty quickly, but always with care, always staying safe. The Slovakian Hound is not a brave and daring specialist like some races of German Hunting Terrier or pointing dogs, who are inevitably injured frequently. With the, used in its specificity, theoretically, no need for a boar vest, because he knows how to handle attacks. Some are never hurt, if used properly, alone or as a couple.

The Slovakian Hound is a dog that is easy to start with the boar. Because it's in their nature, to bark, and the only animal that does not automatically flee but goes to meet is the wild boar. If you are accustomed to hunting on hunts where wild boar are rare but deer are numerous, you will enjoy easily guiding your animals for half an hour or more, but as soon as he perceives that there is a wild boar in the area, will leave this animal too elusive to go and do what it was designed to do.

A good Slovakian Hound, alone or as a couple, it is rarely caught by a wild boar. Otherwise, in dog teams he becomes a vulnerable dog like any other because his passion is terrible, and there, better equip it with a vest…

Great Gascony Blue
Francia FCI 22 - Large-sized Hounds

Big Blue of Gascony

The Great Gascony Blue is known for its deep barks

Content

History

The Great Gascony Blue is an ancient race resulting from the cross between the Bloodhound and other breeds of hounds. It is also said to descend from the dog Hubertus, a species of hound that has become extinct. In the fourteenth century, the first blue hounds were described in the Livre de Chasse de Gaston Fรฉbus to hunt wolves, bears and boars. Even today these dogs still go hunting big game. (deer and wild boar) and they are still more specialist dogs than pets. Very widespread in the south and south-west of France, especially in Gascuรฑa, the Great Gascony Blue is at the origin of all breeds of hounds in the South.

There are four races of Blue Gascony: the Small Blue Gascony, the Basset hound and the Blue Gascony Griffon. The Great Gascony Blue is one of the most widespread.

This breed is also an important ancestor of the Bluetick Coonhound, a breed of dog from the deep south of the United States; the Marquis de Lafayette gave George Washington several of these Biscayan dogs in August of 1785. Other French Fled the French Revolution 20 years later and they brought more to Louisiana. That is why the American race has a remarkable resemblance to its progenitor, except for its morphological needs and its more active character.

Observation:

Although the common opinion is that most dogs are family dogs or get along with children, the dog and the children need to receive some education on how to treat each other respectfully and safely. Dogs and young children should never be alone, but they should always play together under supervision.

Physical characteristics

The Great Gascony Blue it's a large hound, French type because of the shape of the head, fur and expression. The tail, big enough, reaches to the tip of the hock and is carried like a saber. The head has a slightly domed and not too wide skull with a marked occipital protrusion and a slightly pointed stop. The eyes are oval and brown in color. Just placed, the thin, curly ears are pointed and protrude past the tip of the nose.

The hair is short and quite thick. The coat is completely black and white speckled, giving a slate blue glow. May be marked with more or less extensive black spots. Two black dots are usually placed on each side of the head, covering ears, wrapping the eyes and stopping at the cheeks. Two tan markings are placed on the forehead bone, cheeks, the ears, the limbs and under the tail.

Character and skills

This breed is known for its deep barks, one of the reasons why Great Gascony Blue It is a dog for specialists and not a common pet – The neighbors won't like your loud voice very much!! It's something like a gentle giant, with typical friendly hunting dog nature and pack mentality.

Health

The Great Gascony Blue it is generally a healthy and robust breed with no known specific health problems.

Daily exercise

With regard to the exercise, the Great Gascony Blue need at least two hours of exercise a day. This is due to the fact that this dog has been bred for hunting and will therefore be unhappy if he is not allowed to follow his nose for hours and miles..

Nutrition

Large breed dogs not only have a huge appetite, they also require a different nutrient distribution than smaller dogs, also in terms of minerals and vitamins.

Care

The big blue has a short, easy-care coat that requires very little attention – only needs to be brushed once a week. Their long floppy ears must be checked regularly to keep them clean and healthy..

French White and Orange Hound
Francia FCI 316 - Large-sized Hounds

French White and Orange Hound

It is a very unusual breed, practically unknown outside of France.

Content

The French White and Orange 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 French White and Orange Hound

The French White and Orange Hound is one of the three ยซFrench Scent houndsยซ, along with the French Tricolour Hound and the French White and Black Hound. All these dogs are olfactory dogs that hunt in large herds and listen to a hunter to orient themselves.

It's a race of recent creation; among its ancestors is undoubtedly the Billy, but we don't know exactly which dogs were used in their selection. Of the three French Hounds, the French White and Orange Hound is one of the rarest.

Physical Characteristics Orange and White French Hound

The French White and Orange Hound is a distinguished French dog that gives a rustic impression. His eyes are big, brown and dark. Located slightly below the eye line, your ears are flexible, fine, slightly screwed and reach the tip of the nose. Your walks are easy, adopts a light and sustained gallop.

Her hair is short and thin, lemon white or white-orange, as long as the orange isn't too dark, tending to red.

SIZE:

Height to the cross: 62 to 70 cm.. With 2 cm tolerance for maximum size.
Weight: Some 30 Kg.

Character and skills French White and Orange Hound

The only function of French White and Orange Hound is hunting, so it is difficult to make a generalization about their behavior patterns and temperament in a domestic environment. But, it is not necessary to suggest that a socialized specimen can become an educated and well-rounded family pet. Like most scent hounds, he is gentle with children and likes to be a part of their exciting activities.. This dog is probably too energetic and playful to be a suitable companion for a child..

The French White and Orange Hound tends to become somewhat distant and reserved in the presence of strangers. However, he will never show open aggression unless he suspects that something or someone threatens his 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 White and Orange Hound is known for its exceptional tolerance towards other canines. Despite his excessively peaceful nature, also requires early socialization in this regard. It is worth remembering that the breed has a very powerful drive to hunt down and kill other species of animals., especially stray cats. You can get along with individual family pets if you have been raised with them since your puppy.

Health of the French White and Orange Hound

The most common problems for the breed include:

– canine hip dysplasia;
– elbow dysplasia;
– eye problems;
– sarna demodex;
– skin infections;
– skin allergies;
– chronic ear infections;
– bloodhound ataxia.

Caring for the French White and Orange Hound

The French White and Orange Hound Needs a negligible amount of maintenance. Regular brushing will be enough to keep his short, graceful coat in reasonably good condition..

The ears of this breed are highly susceptible to irritation and infections., so its systematic examination and cleaning should become an essential part of care routines.

French White and Orange Hound Training

The training of the French White and Orange Hound poses a considerable challenge. The breed is a natural hunter and requires basic training in all that concerns its original hunting duties.. Unfortunately, its persistence in the search for prey turns into obstinacy in training. It also, cannot concentrate on the same boring task for a long time and is easily irritated by its many repetitions.

The best training strategy for this dog should include abundant rewards in the form of praise and tasty treats.. Negative reinforcement doesn't work with French White and Orange Hound and must be avoided at all costs.

Exercise with the French White and Orange Hound

The French White and Orange Hound it is an athletic and robust hunting dog, easily adapts to extremely intense physical activity. As minimum, should be taken on a quick walk of 45 minutes a day. You should always wear a leash when you are outside, since it is very difficult to call him back once he has been drawn down some interesting path.

The French White and Orange Hound behaves calm and relaxed once exercise requirements have been fully met. Keep in mind that a little exercised dog will gradually develop behavioral problems as unpleasant as continuous barking, internal hyperactivity or destruction. This breed is best suited for suburban life in the house with a large, secure yard.

History

The Italian hound It, According to the vast majority of authors, a dog with very ancient origins. It is believed, in fact, descended from hunting dogs that lived from ancient Egypt, they reached the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, and therefore also to Italy, thanks to the Phoenician merchants. Many Egyptian drawings dating from the time of the pharaohs show the presence of dogs very similar to the current one Italian hound.

His best period is the Renaissance, when its level was improved and its great diffusion began. The race then underwent a slow and inexorable decline until, from the beginning of the 20th century, the Italian hound it became very popular again.

The modern history of Italian hound started on 1920, year in which the Technical Committee of the Society of Hound Hobbyists drew up the first breed standard that a few years later, in 1929 to be exact, was approved by the Italian Kennel Club. At that time there was only one standard that unified the Italian Rough-Haired Hound y al ยซItalian short-haired Segugioยซ; in 1976 came the prohibition of mating between the two varieties; then, in 1989, the ENCI (Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana) passed two different standards, standards that were later also recognized by the FCI which classified them in the group 6, among hound-type dogs, and related breeds.

The Italian Rough-Haired Hound It probably has the same origins as the ยซItalian short-haired Segugioยซ; in fact, both varieties of hounds have always coexisted in almost the entire peninsula.

Physical Characteristics โ€œItalian Wirehaired Houndโ€

Italian Wirehaired Hound

It is similar to the "Italian Flat-Coated Hound". It differs mainly by the coat, made up of coarse hair no more than two inches long, but thinner and shorter on the tail, ears and head; the coat colors are fawn and fiery black (both with white spots allowed, if they are well located).

For the standard it has minimum and maximum withers heights greater than two centimeters compared to the "Italian Flat-Coated Hound": therefore it is slightly larger. She is also believed to have a calmer and more thoughtful temperament than her satin-haired variant., and that this is reflected in a slightly different approach to hunting.

The height at the withers varies in the male from 52 to 60 cm and in the female of 50 to 58 cm.. In the case of an excellent subject there is a tolerance of two centimeters more or less. Weight may vary in males of 20 to 28 kg and females in 18 to 26 kg. The length of the trunk is identical to the height at the withers.

Character and skills ยซItalian Wirehaired Houndยป

Great hunter and secret companion. It is used and fits perfectly both in the mountains and on the flat and in the most rugged terrain. It is equipped with resistance, as well as with good speed and works with commitment and passion both in isolation and in the diving suit.

Compared to "Italian Flat-Coated Hound", the Italian Rough-Haired Hound is more reserved, less exuberant, wise, calm and thoughtful in his work. A gentle look, friendly, but proud and wrapped in a halo of melancholy. A strong and very nice voice.

This dog is first and foremost a working dog, and is rarely kept as a pet.

History

The Schiller Hound It is a working breed that has existed in Sweden since the Middle Ages. But, the breed was not really established and recognized until 1952. This recognition is due in large part to a breeder, Per Schiller, who gave the breed its name.

In 1886, at the first Swedish dog show, they were shown 189 hounds. Among them were Tamburini and Ralla I, a brother and sister belonging to Per Schiller. They were descended from the famous hounds of the Kaflas estate. These dogs probably came from southern Germany: rather small, fawn in color with black fur and slight white markings.

The Schiller Hound they were then based on the crossing of Swiss dogs, German and Austrian, as well as in British hunting dogs, especially the Harriers, to produce a fast and light breed that quickly acquired its type. curiously, Per Schiller worked alongside a Swedish doctor named Adolf Hamilton, and also led to the development of a similar dog named Hamilton Hound, that can be differentiated from Schiller Hound for its tricolor coat.

Still very rare outside his native country, the Schiller Hound was recognized by the Swedish Kennel Club in 1907.

The Schiller Hound has been traditionally used as a sniffing dog, although some describe it as a hunting dog. The breed is known for both its speed and superior olfactory ability; able to quickly track its prey and then howl loudly when its master approaches, alerting of its position. It is a hardy dog โ€‹โ€‹that can tolerate the cold Swedish winters well.. Often, they work individually rather than in a pack and typically hunt rabbits and foxes. Even today, many dogs still work as hunters, although they are equally good household pets.

Its head is relatively small but long and has a well defined stop. The bridge of your nose should be straight and the nose itself is black with wide nostrils. His dark brown eyes are bright and alert, set deep in your face. His medium-sized, high-set ears hang close to his face and do not extend beyond his lower jaw.. Its long and thin limbs are parallel and are surely one of the main reasons for its impressive speed; giving them a very long stride. Their body is rectangular in shape and they have a deep chest with a robust and solid back.. Its long, tapered tail should not be carried too high in the exhibition ring..

The shiny, straight coat of the Schillerstรถvare fits perfectly to his skin. The top coat is actually quite tough, although the shorter fur on his face and ears is softer to the touch. Predominantly tan in color, the coat also has a prominent black coat. Only small white spots are allowed on the coat. Their fur is expertly designed to protect them in icy weather conditions.

The Schiller Hound It is a medium to large sized hound for hunting fox and hare, what does it measure 53-61 cm to the withers and weighs 18-25 kg . The coat is rough and not too short, and it's close to the body.

Although it is not conventionally worked in packs of dogs, the Schiller Hound can socialize well with other dogs if given the opportunity. Of course, smaller animals are not safe in their company and are likely to be seen as little more than prey.

Health

Most members of the breed live into their teens and tend to be in good health.. There are a couple of conditions to consider when it comes to Schiller Hound:

Hip Dysplasia

Malformed hips result in an uneven gait, lifelong muscle loss and discomfort. Affected canines are treated with a variety of therapies, including physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and pharmaceutical pain relief. Prudent screening programs in adult dogs of breeding age may help reduce the overall incidence in the population. If a breeding-age dog gets a low hip score, must be neutered and removed from the kennel.

ear infections

The floppy ears of hunting dogs are a magnet for infections as they create moist environments inside the ear canal for bacteria and yeast to thrive.. Keeping the ears clear and dry can reduce the potential for infection.. If wax builds up, an ear cleaner should be used. Infections should not be allowed to become infected and should be treated as soon as they are noticed. Chronic and whiny infections can pose a real challenge to healing and make the dog very uncomfortable and unhappy while they persist.

History Great Anglo-French Tricolour Hound

The origin of the Anglo-French hound dates back to the 19th century, when hunting with large packs was at its height in France. However, the exact date of its development remains unclear, since the crossing of the French hound with various types of English hounds was a common practice in this country since the 16th century.

French hunters cared little for the appearance or pedigree of their dogs as long as they demonstrated unparalleled hunting prowess.. That is why these hounds were perceived more like stray dogs until the 20th century. The situation changed when in 1957 the breeders decided to organize the dogs according to their ancestry. His efforts resulted in the appearance of seven unique French breeds of sizes, coat texture and distinctive colors. The Great Anglo-French Tricolour Hound appeared as the result of the crossing of native French dogs, in particular the Poitevin hound and the Gascon Saintongeois and the English Foxhound. The breed is very rare, little used and virtually unknown outside of mainland France.

History

The Italian hound It, According to the vast majority of authors, a dog with very ancient origins. It is believed, in fact, descended from hunting dogs that lived from ancient Egypt, they reached the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, and therefore also to Italy, thanks to the Phoenician merchants. Many Egyptian drawings dating from the time of the pharaohs show the presence of dogs very similar to the current one Italian hound.

His best period is the Renaissance, when its level was improved and its great diffusion began. The race then underwent a slow and inexorable decline until, from the beginning of the 20th century, the Italian hound it became very popular again.

The modern history of Italian hound started on 1920, year in which the Technical Committee of the Society of Hound Hobbyists drew up the first breed standard that a few years later, in 1929 to be exact, was approved by the Italian Kennel Club. At that time there was only one standard that unified the Italian Rough-Haired Hound y al ยซItalian short-haired Segugioยซ; in 1976 came the prohibition of mating between the two varieties; then, in 1989, the ENCI (Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana) passed two different standards, standards that were later also recognized by the FCI which classified them in the group 6, among hound-type dogs, and related breeds.

The Italian short-haired Segugio It probably has the same origins as the ยซItalian Rough-Haired Houndยซ; in fact, both varieties of hounds have always coexisted in almost the entire peninsula.

The height of the males ranges from 52 and 58 cm., that of the females between 48 and 56 cm.. The weight can vary between 18 and 28 kg.

Character and aptitudes ยซItalian short-haired houndยป

Alive and bold. Never aggressive towards humans; rarely towards other dogs. It does not bite. Suits austere food and country kennels. Not conspicuously affectionate, but constantly needs the presence and consideration of the owner, who often identifies with the one who accompanies him during the hunt.

If he is well-maintained and has a breed-appropriate lifestyle, the Italian short-haired Segugio You can live up 12 or 13 years. This is because this type of dog is not predisposed to particular diseases derived from its breed.

Those who love them say that…

ยซI did not choose to live with a ยซHoundยป, I mean it was not a choice out of passion for this breed… it happened to me! It turns out that I share my life with a "Hound". It was and still is the most amazing experience of my life. Living with a "Hound" means learning to have time, lots of time to walk โ€œaloneโ€ exploring life, silent. It is learning that you can stay in the forest for hours without doing anything other than living and discovering the forest. And that's it. The "Hound" teaches you not to pay attention to appearances, to pursue your passions tenaciously while those who look at you think you are just sniffing. He is an extremely sensitive partner but at the same time proud and independent. Living with Chloe is an adventure, made of constant and subtle balances between sharing and the search for individuality, the desire for freedom and the need to feel close to each other, "It is learning every day to discover and respect yourself.".

The length of the ears corresponds to a 70% of the length of the head and its width, measured at the widest part, It is a little larger than half its length.

Neck:

โ€ข Profile : The upper profile is slightly arched, i.e. convex. โ€ข Length : Its length corresponds or is almost equal to the length of the head; so that, must correspond to 4/10 the height at the withers. โ€ข Form : The neck is shaped like a truncated cone.. Its appearance is thin and light, to the point of giving the impression of being not very muscular. โ€ข Skin : The skin on the neck is thin, well stretched and does not form folds or double chins. The hair is satin.

Body:

  • top line : It is rectilinear. Descends harmoniously from the withers to the rump, with a slight convexity in the plane of the lumbar region.
  • Cross : Does not protrude much above the line of the back. It is narrow due to the approach of the tip of the shoulder blades and joins harmoniously with the root of the neck.
  • Back : The upper profile is rectilinear and the muscles are not very apparent.. There is a proportion of 3 to 1 between the length of the back and the length of the lumbar region.
  • Pork loin : The length of the lumbar region corresponds to just under 1/5 the height at the withers. The width of the spine is equal to its length. The muscles of this region are well developed.
  • Rump : Its upper profile is slightly convex. Its direction has an inclination of about 10 degrees below the horizontal. Its length corresponds approximately to 1/3 from the height to the withers and its width corresponds to half its length. The muscles are well developed.
  • Breast : The height of the rib cage is equal to or slightly less than half the height at the withers and its transverse diameter, calculated at half its height, approximately corresponds to 1/3 the height at the withers. The chest should descend almost to the elbows. The ribs are not very tight, therefore they are little convex. Since the chest circumference is more than ยผ of the height at the withers, the pectoral region is not very wide.
  • bottom line : It is typical of the breed, since it appears in the form of a straight line throughout its entire length; this line goes up from the sternum to the belly, which is very thin, although not very raised.

Tail:

On the line of the rump the insertion of the tail is high. It is thin at the root and uniform throughout its extension.. It looks like a small flute (breadstick), except at the extremity, where it is very fine. The limb reaches the tip of the hock or barely touches it. The tail is covered with short hair throughout its entire length.. When the dog is at rest the tail hangs; When in action it rises and exceeds the line of the back.

Tips

PREVIOUS MEMBERS : Seen as a whole and in profile, the aplombs must correspond to an imaginary vertical line that, starting from the scapulohumeral joint, descends to the ground, touching fingertips. They must also correspond to another imaginary vertical line that, starting from the humero-radial joint, divide the forearm and carpus into two more or less equal parts to end at half the length of the metacarpus. Seen from the front, The positions must correspond to a vertical line that starts from the tip of the shoulder and divides the forearm into two visibly equal parts., the carpus, the metacarpus and the foot. The height from the elbow to the floor is equal to half the height at the withers.

  • Shoulder : Shoulder length corresponds to 1/3 the height at the withers. Its inclination below the horizontal is 45 to 55 degrees. Shoulder muscles are long, skinny, apparent and well defined. The opening of the angle of the scapulo-humeral joint is about 110 degrees.
  • Arm : The length of the arm corresponds approximately to half the height from the floor to the elbow. In relation to the vertical, the arm is located in a plane more or less parallel to the median plane of the body. Arm muscles are long and thin.
  • Elbows : They are located in the plane of the sternum line or a little below and are parallel to the median plane of the body. The end of the elbow should be on the inclined vertical that starts from the tip of the shoulder blade. The humeral-radial angle measures 135 to 145 degrees.
  • Forearm : Its length is approximately equal to 1/3 the height at the withers. It is located perpendicular to the ground and has a clearly visible carpo-ulnar groove., which makes him look thin, fleshless and without important bones.
  • Carpo : He is thin. Extends the straight line of the forearm.
  • Metacarpus : Its length must not be less than 1/6 of that of the anterior limb, measurement from the floor to the elbow. In profile, the metacarpus is wider than the carpus, but flat and thin and slightly oblique from back to front.
  • Front feet : They have an oval shape (hare foot); the fingers are well together and arched. The digital tubers are not very fleshy. Center pads are thin, hard, leathery and black. The nails are strong, bent and always black. The presence of some white nails (not pink) does not constitute a fault.

LATER MEMBERS : Seen in profile, The positions must correspond to an imaginary vertical that descends from the tip of the gluteus to the floor, rubbing or touching the tips of the fingers.. Seen from the back, the aplombs must correspond to an imaginary vertical that, from the tip of the gluteus, descends to the ground and divides the tip of the hock into two equal parts, the metatarsus and the foot. The length of the hind limbs is equal to 93 % the height at the withers.

  • Thigh : Length and width; its length is not less than 1/3 the height at the withers. thigh width (external face) is approximately equal to ยพ of its length. The muscles are prominent, but they are well separated. The posterior edge of the thigh is slightly convex. The angle of the coxofemoral joint measures 90 to 95 degrees.
  • Knees : They must be well plumb and the kneecap must not deviate even inwards, nor out. The angle of the tibiofemoral joint is about 115 degrees.
  • Leg : Its length is a little less than the thigh; Its inclination below the horizontal is approximately 40 degrees. The leg muscles are thin even in the upper part; They are solid and differentiate well from each other. The groove on the leg is well marked and apparent.. The external saphenous vein is clearly visible. The bones are rather light and very solid..
  • Hock : Its width is approximately one tenth of the height at the withers.. The distance from the ground to the tip of the hock should not be greater than the 27 % the height at the withers (low hock). The bone structure is solid and the contours of the bones are clearly visible., which accentuates the thinness of the region. The opening of the tibiotarsal angle is about 135 degrees.
  • Metatarsus : Its length is less than half the length of the forelimb measured from the ground to the elbow. It is less wide than the hock and is presented in a vertical position, that is to say, perpendicular to the ground. No presence of dewclaws.
  • Rear feet : They are less oval than the previous ones; for the rest, They have the same characteristics.

Movement:

during the hunt, the dog's movement is the gallop.

Mantle

SKIN : It is fine and thin; is well applied over the entire body. Mucosal pigmentation, of the third eyelid, of the nails, of the central pads and digital tubercles should be strictly black. Black palate is not a requirement, but it represents a quality.

HAIR : It is smooth over the entire body. It's stiff, dense, dense and uniformly smooth. Some hard hairs can be found scattered on the trunk, the snout and limbs, but this does not constitute a fault.

COLOR : Accepted colors include the entire range of unicolor fawn, from intense reddish-fawn to washed-out fawn and black and tan. The tan markings are found, as usual, on the snout, the eyebrows, the chest, the extremities, from the carpus to the foot and from the tarsus to the foot, as well as in the perineum. The fawn may have white on the snout and skull (the mask may or may not be symmetrical), a white star on the chest, white color on the neck, the metacarpals and metatarsals, the feet and the tip of the tail. But, the color white is not very appreciated, and it is preferable that it not be very abundant. The black and tan color may have a white star on the chest; In this case it is said that the hound is tricolor. The brown color (coffee, liver) it is not accepted.
