Did you know ?
The rarest of the Anglo-Francais breeds with an intermediate type, not truly a Foxhound, not truly a Francais… a bit of both.
Of the three Anglo-Francais breeds, White and Oranges are certainly the least well known and the least numerous. Morphologically, they have nothing to covet in their cousins, differing in terms of color and type.
Great Anglo-Francais White and Orange In a few words :
-
Head
Fairly short, broad.
-
Body
Broad, muscular back, broad, rather short loins, rather round croup, fairly deep, well let down chest, well filled flanks.
-
Coat
White and lemon or white and orange, provided the orange is not too dark (reddish).
-
Ears
Set broadly at eye level or slightly lower, fairly thick, slightly turned, rather short.
-
Tail
Fairly long, sometimes with slight brush.
-
Hair
Smooth and not too thick.
A cross between the Français Blanc et Orange with the English Foxhound, Great Anglo-Francais White and Oranges have a lot of British blood streaming through their veins. The shorter head of these fairly strong, powerful dogs is more English than the Tricolor, with a square muzzle, which gives them a distinct look compared with the Francais.
