Generally hardy working hound with a robust constitution developed for French hunting terrain

Affordable and accessible for serious hound enthusiasts seeking a rare working breed

Extremely rare in the United States — finding a responsibly bred puppy may require importing from France or Europe

High exercise and hunting drive requirements make the breed unsuitable for sedentary or urban households
