Porcelaine

Porcelaines are bred for both hunting and coursing hares and are known for their speedy reactions, fine nose and distinctive voice.

About the Porcelaine

Porcelaines are sturdy hounds originally bred in the Franche-Comté region of eastern France, which is why they are known as the Franche-Comté Dog in their native country. Their white coat makes these very distinguished dogs easy to spot from a distance.

Although widely known for their hunting instincts, these sociable dogs make loving companions for active owners.
