| Origin & History | Grand anglo- français blanc et noir is descended from crosses between the old Saintongeois hound and Foxhounds, a type called the Bâtard anglo-saintongeois. The names of all the various Anglo-French hound breeds and varieties were all officially described with the term "anglo- français" in 1957. They are used as a pack dog to hunt large game such as Roe Deer, boar, or smaller animals such as fox. Although these are large dogs, "Grand" does not necessarily refer to the size of the dogs. "In most cases it is simply a label for a pack that is used for larger game". |
| Personality | Temperament of individual dogs may vary, but in general dogs bred to be pack hunting dogs do not make good pets. |
Care Requirements
| Health | There are no known breed-specific health concerns. |
| Grooming | Their short, dense, smooth coats make them easy to care for. |
| Exercise | Working pack hounds require regular exercise, which they get through hunting. |
| Other Considerations | Grand Anglos are not recommended for apartment life or urban life. They are very active indoors and do best with acreage. |
