History of the Porcelen breed
Origin: France
It is believed that the breed is descended from the English Harrier and other European hounds. In France, it has been known since 1845, in Switzerland - since 1880. After the French Revolution, it almost disappeared, but later it was revived. They hunted hares, roe deer and wild boars in packs in the northern regions.
Porcelain is a medium (53-58 cm) French-Swiss Hound with a fine, shiny white coat and orange spots. Gentle, friendly, loves attention, and his voice is melodious while working. A strong sense of smell and a hunting instinct require space and a mobile owner.
