Francais Blanc et Noir

Dog breed profile

The Francais Blanc et Noir originated in France as a versatile hunting dog, bred to track and chase game across varied terrains. This breed is characterized by its striking white and black coat and strong, athletic build. Known for its high energy and social temperament, it thrives in active households where it can participate in regular outdoor activities. While intelligent, the breed may require patient and consistent training to manage its natural hunting instincts. Regular grooming is straightforward, though routine ear care is important due to its floppy ears. This breed is best suited to experienced owners who can provide ample exercise and mental stimulation, making it less ideal for apartment living or first-time dog owners.
