History of the breed French white and red hound
Origin: France
Bred in France at the end of the 19th century by crossing billy hounds with English foxhounds. In 1957, breeds of this type were officially given the name "Anglo-French". The word "gran" indicates working with large game, not just the size of the dogs. The breed is bred primarily for pack hunting.
French white and red hound (grand Anglo-French blanc é orange) - a large (60-70 cm) strong hound with long legs, long hanging ears and white-orange color. Designed for hunting a pack of large animals: roe deer, wild boar, and fox. Hardy and loud, with a strong sense of smell. This is a working dog, and it is not usually chosen for a quiet city life.

Life is nearby
Suitable for hunters or people with a large area where the dog can move a lot. In the apartment and in the city, it is difficult to provide him with the necessary load. A loud voice will create problems for the neighbors.
Walks
Very high. He needs long daily runs or work in hunting. Boredom causes howling, flight and destruction.
Training
Independent and passionate about scents, can ignore commands when sniffing a trail. Patience, early recall practice and safe fencing are required. You can only safely let off-leash where it is safe to do so.
Care
Short dense wool is combed once a week, more often during shedding. Long hanging ears are carefully cleaned so that there is no inflammation. After hunting, paws, skin and ears are inspected for damage and ticks.
Children
Generally good-natured, but large and energetic, so may inadvertently push a child. Communication with children is controlled. A dog that grew up in a pack is not always used to everyday life and children's games.
Other animals
Used to working in a pack and usually gets along well with other dogs. The hunting instinct is aimed at small animals, so cats and rodents are not trusted to him without supervision.

Zooaggression
Gets along well with dogs in a pack, and perceives small animals as prey.
Health and reproductive risks
There is no comparable survival estimate for the breed in the British cohort used. The absence of the mentioned risk does not prove the absence of hereditary diseases.
Ease of care
The short coat is easy, but the ears and paws need regular attention.
Health
