A large French pack hound with an orange-and-white coat, bred for stamina in group hunts.

Who is this breed suited to?

This powerful large scent hound suits an informed hound owner who can offer structured outdoor activity and handle a substantial dog.

Daily time commitment

Set aside daily exploratory exercise and training around scents. The FCI standard gives no evidence-based number of household exercise minutes.

Coat and everyday care

Its short coat is simple to brush; inspect ears and feet after trail work and introduce comfortable restraint for routine care.

Challenges to plan for

Large size and a hunting purpose make containment and lead control significant. A white-and-orange coat is not evidence of an easy companion temperament.

How does it compare?

The Tricolore is a separate Grand Anglo-French breed; the orange-and-white standard describes a head showing more English influence.

Questions to ask a breeder

Which registered Grand Anglo-French breed is this litter? What working and household experience do the parents have, and what health and socialisation records are available?
