About the Great Gascony Blue
Very widespread in the south (midi) and south-west of France, particularly in Gascony, from where they take their name; they are at the origin of all the scenthounds named “from the South” (du midi). They generally hunt in packs, for which they have a highly developed instinct, although these industrious dogs can work alone as a tracking hound.
They have a very fine nose and a resonant voice, and with moderate training have no problem following commands.
