Anglo-Français and Français (hound)

Hunting with the hounds was originally done in two styles, Chasse-à-Courre, in which the pack chases and kills the game animal, and Chasse-à-Tir, where the pack (or sometimes an individual dog) circles the game animal and chases it back towards the waiting hunter.

[4] Individual hunting hounds are not well suited to be pets, as they need a great deal of space, exercise, and experienced handling.

Some dogs of these breeds have been exported to North America and are recognised by the United Kennel Club (US), which has specialized in hunting hounds for many years.

An additional breed name, apparently invented in North America, the Anglo-Français de Moyenne Vénerie, is sometimes seen advertised.
