By the mid-20th century, the breed had all but disappeared, but in the 1970s, several fans, notably Mr. Audresy (from Buigny-le-Gamache on the Somme), decided to restore the breed from the few remaining specimens they found. after searching. Thanks to their efforts, the modern Artois Hound is very similar to the original. There are currently about 500 dogs registered in their studbooks, which have returned significantly since 1975.
