The Grand Anglos-Francaises
is the result of crossing the bigger French hounds with the English Foxhound.
He carries more bone and less ear than his pure French cousins. FCI actually
recognizes three color variations of Large: the Black/White, the Tricolor
and the Orange/White.
Harriers and the
medium French hounds, such as the Poitevin and Porcelaine, contributed
to the Middle-sized Anglo-Francais. As a fast hound, the Anglo-Francais
is useful for all types of small game over a variety of terrain. Except
for size, this type is similar in appearance to the Grand Anglo-Francais.
The Moyen, also, is divided into three color classifications.
The Petite Anglo-Francais
was the result of blending the smaller French hounds, for instance the
d'Ar-tois, with the Beagle. Like his larger brothers, the Petite is a
good tracker, and packs are useful when hunting rabbit, pheasant or quail.
These smaller
dogs were not sufficiently pure to create a standard, but FCI does recognize
them. They look much like the large and medium sizes, a mid-type between
the hounds of France and England.
The Petite has
readily adapted to indoor life, where it has proven to be tranquil and
clean, This variety also separates into three color varieties. At one
time, there were wire-coated (griffon) versions of all the sizes and colors
of the Anglo-Francais dog, but interest in these variations waned and
the wires seem to have disappeared.
