About the Anglo-Francais de Petite Venerie

The Anglo-Francais de Petite Venerie is a French pack scenthound created by crossing French hounds with English Foxhounds to hunt small game such as hare in organized packs. Medium-sized, athletic and well balanced, it has a fine nose, good voice and great stamina for working long days in the field. Sociable, even-tempered and cooperative by nature, it thrives in the company of other dogs and people. It suits hunters or very active rural owners who can provide extensive exercise, canine companionship and outlets for its scenting drive, rather than quiet urban households.

Every dog is an individual — genetics, socialization, health, training, and environment matter more than breed averages.
