Behaviour
The 1973 standard carries no temperament section
The FCI standard of 28 December 1973 gives no Behaviour / Temperament section for the Billy. Its stated utilization is simply "Hound", and it is classified with the large-sized hounds that work with a working trial; the only wording bearing on character anywhere in the document is the disqualification of aggressive or overly shy dogs.
