Draft — this profile is still being checked.
At a glance
The Chien Français Blanc et Noir is a large French pack scenthound developed for hunting large game, recognised by the UKC in 1996. It is powerfully built and of distinguished quality, standing about 62–71 cm, with a short, harsh, dense coat in white and black with black or bluish speckling and often tan markings on the head and a tan 'roebuck' mark on the thigh. The standard is written almost entirely around construction and working ability rather than temperament — viciousness or extreme shyness is a disqualification.
