The Anglo-Fran?ais de Petite V?nerie is a medium-sized breed of dog used in hunting as a scenthound, usually in packs. It is one of the Anglo-French hound breeds which were created by crossing French scenthounds with English (Anglo) foxhounds.
The name Petite V?nerie does not mean that dogs of the breed are petite or small, but rather that it is used to hunt small game.
The Anglo-Fran?ais de Petite V?nerie is 48 to 56 cm (19-22 ins) in height at the withers. Weight is not specified, but it is not a heavy dog, and should look balanced (well proportioned) and should resemble other French hounds in outline. The breed’s coat is tight, smooth and short, with colours of tan, black, and white, or two of the three colours in any combination, i.e. white and black, or white and orange.) Ears are low set drop ears, and the long tail is held up.
