The Chien d'Artois is a medium-sized, heavily built scenthound from northern France. Revered for centuries for their incredible stamina and exceptional nose, they were bred to hunt hare and wild boar through incredibly dense, thorny brush. They are robust, courageous, and fiercely determined.
The Artois Hound is deeply loyal, highly affectionate, and possesses a wonderfully calm demeanor when inside the home. However, once outside, their hunting instincts take over completely. They require vigorous daily exercise and a highly secure yard, as they are brilliant escape artists when tracking a scent. Their short, thick coat is highly weather-resistant and requires minimal grooming.
