Gascon Saintongeois

This is a wonderful hunting dog, adapted to swampy, high-mountainous areas, and plains.

The Lesser Gascon-Santong Hound is a miniature copy of the Large Gascon-Santong Hound. In fact, these two varieties are one breed and in the International Cynological Federation they are combined under number 21.

The average life span of dogs of this breed is 13-15 years.

French hunters say about this dog that “it is the best wolf hunter in the world, capable of pursuing its prey around the clock.”

Regular exercise and long walks are required.
