Ariegeois


The Ariegeois is a breed of dog, specifically a French pack-hunting scenthound developed late in the last century. It is distinguished by its friendly nature with other hounds and affection for human companions.

This breed originated in France in 1912, making it a fairly new breed. It is not yet well known outside of its own region. The breed is registered with the FCI.

Overall, the Ariegeois are talented scenthounds, and affectionate and serene in the home.

Origin: France
Size: Weight 66 pounds; Height 22-24 inches
Coat: Their coat is smooth and short, with the color being tricolor (the black and tan is mostly on the head, with the body white without ticking; some patches are allowed on the body.)
