Normand Hound
Normandy Hound
The Normand Hound was a scenthound that hailed from the Normandy region of France. They are considered to be a direct descendant of the Saint Hubert Hound, which would eventually become the modern-day Bloodhound. Normand Hounds are believed to be the strain of Saint Huberts that were first taken to England.
Already rare by the late 1700s, the last surviving pack was documented in 1875. Before its extinction, the Normand Hound gave rise not only to the Bloodhound but most of the French scenthounds.
