Chien Francais Blanc et Noir
The Chien français blanc et noir (FCI No.21) translated into English as the French White and Black Hound, is a breed of dog of the scenthound type, originating in France. The breed is used for hunting in packs and descends from the old Hound of Saintonge type of large hunting dog.
History
The breed's ancentry was in the the old Hound of Saintonge, which almost disappeared during the French Revolution, through the Gascon-saintongeois breed created by Count Joseph de Carayon-Latour in the mid 1800s. The Gascon-saintongeois hounds were crossbred with the Poitevin in the late 1800s to produce the Chien français blanc et noir. The dogs were officially recognised as a breed in 1957. In 2009, there were approximately 2000 of the breed registered through the Fédération Cynologique Internationale. The Chien français blanc et noir are pack hunting dogs, which means that groups hunt together in packs, always directed by a human, not running about hunting by themselves. The Chien français blanc et noir packs are especially valued in the hunting of deer.
Appearance and Size
The breed is a typical hunting pack hound, with a lean and muscular body, long legs, slightly domed head, long drop ears, and slightly square flews that just overlap the lower lip. Size is 65 to 72 cm (25.6 to 28.3 ins) at the withers, females slightly smaller. The colour of the coat is white and black, with a black mantle, sometimes speckled or ticked with black or blue. Pale tan dots are above each eye as well as tan on the cheeks, below the eyes and ears, and below the tail. Sometimes a tan marking is found on the base of the upper thigh, which is called the 'roe buck mark'. Faults are listed as deviations in appearance that have an effect on the health and working ability of the dog, as well as indication of crossing with Foxhounds or being off-colour, indicating that a dog with such faults should not be bred. The breed is noted for its perseverance on the hunt as well as a good nose and voice. Unusual for pack dogs, it is friendly and easy for humans to manage.

Bouledogues at home
Tyson et Baethys sont deux bouledogues français, respectivement de 5 ans et demi et 5 ans. Tyson est un beau grand mâle qui est une boule d'émotion. Baethys est une jolie petite femelle caille fauve, qui sait très bien nous attendrir. Nous les avons gardés pendant quelques heures à la maison afin de faire un test, dans le but de faire du dog-sitting le weekend prochain. Tout c'est très bien passé !
