About

Originating from the Gascony region of France, this rare breed is also referred to as the Virelade Hound, named after Baron de Virelade, who developed it by crossing the Saintongeois with the Grand Bleu de Gascogne (below) and the Ariégeois (opposite). Known for its exceptional stamina and acute sense of smell, this breed comes in two sizes: Petit and Grand.
