French White And Orange Hound

This is a very rare French pack breed with almost no presence outside working hunt kennels in France, so there is no reliable US price. Expect long waitlists, possible import costs, and travel; a realistic all-in figure could run several thousand dollars once transport is included. The bigger number is lifetime care: food, routine vet visits, and eventual health costs for a large dog add up to many thousands of dollars over its life, so plan for that rather than the purchase price alone.

It is friendly and good-natured with people and other dogs, but it was bred to hunt in a pack, not to lounge at home. Without hours of daily exercise and a job for its nose, it grows frustrated and vocal. It suits an active rural family far more than a typical suburban household.

No. Its size, high exercise needs, and loud hunting voice make apartment living unrealistic. It does best with a securely fenced yard and open space to run and track.

Not especially. Like most scenthounds it is independent and single-minded once it catches a scent, so recall off-leash is unreliable. Consistent, patient training and secure fencing matter more than expecting polished obedience.
