A large tricolor French pack hound bred to hunt deer and wild boar across open country.

Who is this breed suited to?

The Grand Anglo-French Tricolour Hound fits an experienced, active home that understands the practical demands of a large scent hound.

Daily time commitment

Provide meaningful daily outdoor exploration and attention training. Its working classification does not translate into a single precise exercise prescription.

Coat and everyday care

Brush the short coat and check the folded ears, feet and skin after excursions; teach calm handling while the dog is young.

Challenges to plan for

French and Foxhound influences do not guarantee a particular household personality. Ask how the actual dogs cope away from a working group.

How does it compare?

The Blanc et Orange has a different colour and head description in its own standard; these are distinct breeds rather than interchangeable litter colours.

Questions to ask a breeder

How is this Tricolore litter registered, and what work do the parents do? Describe social needs, home experience and documented health screening.
