It is one of the Anglo-French hounds, created by crossing French scenthounds with English foxhounds.\n\n\"Petite\" refers to the small game it hunts and not to the dog's size. It is mostly a hunting dog and may not suit city or family life.","history":"The breed was developed from older Anglo-French hounds crossed with the Harrier, Poitevin, Petit Gascon-Saintongeois and Petit Bleu de Gascogne. French hunting hounds have a long history, with local types recorded in the sixteenth century.\n\nBefore 1978 it was called the Petit Anglo-Français. The FCI recognised it in 1983, and it is also recognised by the United Kennel Club in North America.","appearance":"This is a medium-sized hound built for stamina, with the drop ears typical of scenthounds. It is the smallest of the Anglo-French hound breeds.","personality":"Bred to work in packs, it is an active, determined hound that is used to the company of other dogs. It is not usually kept as a pet or show dog.","care":"It needs a lot of exercise, space and a purposeful outlet for its scenting drive. Because of its drop ears, the ears should be checked and cleaned regularly.","health":"No breed-specific health problems are documented. Like other drop-eared breeds, the area under the ear can be prone to infection."},"recognition":{"fci_number":325,"fci_standard_url":"https://www.fci.be/en/nomenclature/325.html","akc_url":null},"sources":{"wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Fran%C3%A7ais_de_Petite_V%C3%A9nerie","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q37482","wikipedia_revision":1359457663},"profile":{"written_by":"AI model (Claude Sonnet) from the sources above","written_at":"2026-10-15T13:59:38Z"}}}
