This sophisticated giant takes her name not from her size, but from the big game who perish at the hands of the hunts who exploit her. Many a stag or deer has fallen to the mercenary teeth of a pack of Great Anglo-French White and Black Hounds. While she is friendly among people and can even enjoy the society of children, she is mostly used as a pack dog and rarely kept as a pet or show dog. The Great Anglo-French White and Black Hound is also rarely found outside of her native France.
