[1]A smaller Gascon-Saintongeois hound
The UKC describes the Petit Gascon-Saintongeois as a reduced form of the Grand Gascon-Saintongeois, with its present size and type attributed to crosses with the Ariegeois and local Briquet hounds. It is described as a rare hound in France.
[1]A powerful, elegant hound bred for hunting
The UKC applies the parent breed's standard while allowing shorter lines to reflect the smaller size. It describes a build combining muscular strength and elegance, with the substance and endurance expected of a hunting hound that follows scent.
[1]Black patches and pale tan on white
The short, close-lying coat is white with black patches and may also be speckled or ticked. The cheeks are pale tan, with tan points above the eyes and traces inside the ears and on the legs.
