POITOU 

 HOUND 



Color : White, 

 black and tan, and 

 tri-color. 



Height : 26 in. 



Weight: 58 Ihs. 



A muscular dog 

 with limbs rather 

 flat but large. 

 The head is lean, 

 fine and carried 

 proudly on a well 

 arched neck. The 

 skull is slightly 

 domed and the oc- 

 cipital bone just 

 visible, and the 

 muzzle should be 

 long. The brown 

 eyes give him a 

 bright and intelli- 

 g e n t expression. 

 The ears are 

 moderately short, 



very thin, velvety and hang gracefully in folds. His deep chest, slightly arched back, 

 well muscled loins and straight, well-boned limbs, fit him for arduous work. The stern 

 is of medium length and tapers towards the point. The coat is coarse and should not 

 be too short, especially on hindquarters and stern.

 saddle. Height: 29 in. Weight: 78 Ibs.

 on low, long, thin, velvety and folding inwards. The body is rather long and heavy. 

 Neck short, strong and thick with heavy dewlap. Back broad, strong and well 

 muscled. Legs strong, muscular and with rather coarse bone. The feet are clean 

 and pointed. The stern is thick at the root, tapering towards the point and carried 

 gaily, curved upwards. The coat is short and coarse in appearance.
