Description
The Grand Anglo-Français Blanc et Orange is a boisterous, tireless companion, truly happiest when their nose is to the ground and their powerful voice rings out. These hounds are driven by an ancient desire to hunt, making peaceful strolls a constant adventure in scent-following. While affectionate with their people, their independent spirit and deep prey drive mean they require patient, consistent guidance. They thrive on activity and space, turning a quiet home into their personal sound stage if under-exercised. Their distinctive, melodious bay is a hallmark, a clear declaration of their enduring hound nature.
