Versorging
Temperament
Courageous and energetic, affectionate with its people, and sometimes quarrelsome with strange dogs.
Oefening
Needs long daily runs and space; it is at its best hunting or running in open, secure country.
Versorging
The short, hard coat needs a quick weekly brush; check the ears regularly.
Opleiding
Responds best to experienced, calm handlers; independent on scent and slow to accept repetitive obedience work.
Gesondheid
Generally healthy, though the population is small; hip dysplasia and ear infections are reported. Hip screening is sensible, so ask the breeder for results and about relatedness of the parents.

Oor die ras
The Billy was created in the late 19th century by Gaston Hublot du Rivault, who combined several old French white hound lines at his home in Poitou. It nearly disappeared after the World Wars and was carefully rebuilt from a very small number of dogs.
It is an elegant, athletic hound, mostly white or pale cream, sometimes with orange or lemon patches. Kept mainly by hunters in packs for roe deer and boar, it can be sharp with unfamiliar dogs and is not a natural fit for town life. With the right owner it is affectionate and calm at home.
