Dog History

The Artois Hound, a descendent of the Bloodhound, is a rare canine breed. This breed, originally known as the Picard, is a medium-sized scent hound that was popular for hunting during Henry IV of France's reign. Despite being widely considered as one of the greatest hare hunting breeds, the Picard was scarce and difficult to get by during his heyday. The breed remained popular throughout the 17th century, but by the 19th century, it had been crossed with British hounds, resulting in the Normand, a taller, more attractive type (now extinct).

Efforts were made in the late 1800s to eliminate Normand blood from the breeding pool, and by the turn of the century, this had been accomplished.The ancient Artois type had been restored, but during the First and Second World Wars, it went out of favour once more. For many years, the breed was on the verge of extinction. However, modern efforts to restore the breed have seen some results, and there are presently roughly 500 dogs registered.

Health and Care

The Artois Hound requires a lot of activity because it is a hunting breed. This breed requires at least an hour of moderate to intense activity every day, and will benefit from additional time to run in a fenced yard. Hunting with your Artois Hound is a great way to get some exercise, and these dogs are never happier than when they're following a scent trail.

Because the Artois Hound is an uncommon breed, there is limited information concerning hereditary health issues. Keep in mind that the breed's history includes a considerable amount of crossbreeding, so congenital health issues are always a possibility. These dogs, on the other hand, are generally healthy and have a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years.

Dog Breed Care Tips and Important Instructions

Artois Hounds are very energetic dogs, so you'll have to keep them occupied on a regular basis. Long walks in the woods, hiking, and ball play may all help your dog be happy and healthy. The Artois Hound is a difficult dog to teach. They can be obstinate, so you must be constant in your training. You must be stern and consistent, and you may expect your dog to obey you.

Early socialisation is essential because this is a hunting dog breed. Begin the socialising process as soon as you bring your Artois Hound home. You may be confident that your dog will grow up to be a well-behaved dog with whom you will have no difficulties later in life if you do it this way.

The best thing you can do for your dog is to expose him to a variety of settings, people, dogs, animals, and noises so that he may learn how to behave appropriately. You may even socialise your dog at home by dressing and acting differently so that your dog does not immediately know you.

Feeding

• Between the ages of 8 and 12, Artois Hound pups require four bowls of food every twenty-four hours.
• Three meals should be given to Artois Hound puppies aged three to six months every 24 hours.
• Feed two bowls of food to puppies aged six months to one year on a regular basis.
• When the artois hound reaches the age of one, one feeding per day is sufficient.
• Adult artois hounds may prefer two smaller portions on occasion. It is your responsibility to adjust to your artois hound's dietary habits.
• Premium dry dogfood can be mixed with broth, water, or canned food to give a balanced diet for full-grown artois hounds. Cottage cheese, boiled eggs, fruits, and vegetables are all good for your artois dog, but they shouldn't make up more than 10% of his daily diet. Puppies of the Artois Hound should be given high-quality, brand-name puppy food. However, try to limit "table food" because it can lead to mineral and vitamin shortages, dental and bone problems, as well as excessively fussy food choices and obesity. Only give clean, fresh water, and be sure to clean the water and food dishes on a regular basis.

Home Training Tips and General Information

"On trust, on trust," say to him, steadying and restraining his head's movement with one hand while putting up a menacing finger with the other and adding, "On trust, on trust."

After that, let go of his head and say, "paid for," while giving him a little tap beneath the chin. This will cause him to fling the reward up in the air and catch it. Naturally, he won't be able to catch the food on his first try, but he must be able to devour the treat once it has fallen to the ground.

This training will become more successful if it is repeated on a regular basis. You should gradually quit holding his head with your hand and let him to balance the snack on his nose until you say, "Paid for."

He can also be trained to keep the treat between his teeth and not swallow it until he is told to. Holding a discussion with your Artois Hound will make this method much more impressive. "Pal, old guy," you can say, "here is a truly nice snack, but it's 'on trust."

"I am happy you loathe eating things on trust," say, "but this I have just discovered has truly been 'bought for,'" emphasising the words "paid for."

You may even teach your Artois Hound to chuck the biscuit after hearing a specified number. To teach this, rest it on his nose and hold his head still while counting 1, 2, 3, and then nudge him under the chin. He'll throw it up as much at one, two, four as he will at one, two, three until he learns the trick, but he'll need to be drilled until he won't toss it until he hears "three." It will make things simpler.

You may use a variety of numerals after a while, and he'll wait until he hears the stressed "three." Don't make him wait too long before saying "three" and allowing him to consume the food while you're teaching him.
