The Billy is a large, highly elegant, and incredibly fast scenthound from France. Known for their pure white or lightly lemon-spotted coats, they were bred in the 19th century to hunt roe deer and wild boar in large packs. They are highly athletic, fiercely driven, and possess a melodious voice.
The Billy is highly intelligent but notoriously independent, bred to make their own decisions on the hunt. They are deeply affectionate with their families but require firm, patient, and highly consistent training. They possess boundless energy and require immense daily running in secure areas. Their short, beautiful coat is easy to care for, requiring only occasional brushing.
