The Anglo-French Hound is the result of crossing English and French hounds. The first crosses most certainly occurred in the sixteenth century. By the late nineteenth century, huntmasters highly prized this all-terrain dog as a multi-purpose pack hound for hunting deer, wild boar, and fox. Anglo-French Hounds come in various sizes and coat colors, based on the breeds used in their development: - The Great Anglo-French Hound, descended mainly from the Poitevin and crosses between the Gascon Saintongeois and the Foxhound; - The Great Anglo-French Tricolor Hound, the variety with the most English blood; - The Great Anglo-French White and Orange Hound (now very rare), the product of crosses between the Billy and the Foxhound; - The Great Anglo-French White and Black Hound, descended from the Gascon Saintongeois; and - The Small Game Anglo-French Hound, developed recently by crossing the Harrier with the Poitevin, the Porcelaine, the Small Gascon Saintongeois, and the Small Blue Gascony Hound. Initially called the Small Anglo-French Hound, this variety was recognized as the Small Game Anglo-French Hound in 1978.
