History of the Chien Français Blanc et Orange
In 1957 a committee of canine experts was put together to revise the groupings and standards of French Hounds. They divided them into two major groups, the Anglo-French and the French – those that had English blood and those that did not. The Chien Français Blanc et Noir is the rarest of the three Chien Français.
