It is important to say, that when we talk about dogs temperament, we most often talk about how those dogs act as a human comapanions. But the Anglo Francais de Petit Venerie is mostly used as a working hunting dog rather than a typical companion.

As you would expect from a hunting breed, they are extremely energetic and work loving dogs. They do have strong pack mentality and they love to live with other dogs. Their ancestors were English Foxhounds and old French Hounds. They were bred to hunt and scent small game and hunt it in pack. They would circle the animal and chase it back towards the hunter.

The average size of male King shepherd is between 26-29 inches and ideal weight of 120-145 pounds. The females are little bit smaller with height between 25-27 inches and weight between 80-110 pounds.

You can find King Shepherds in two coat varieties – the long haired and plush haired and many coat colors including sable, gold, cream, black saddle with tan or silver markings. Sometimes you can find white or blue King Shepherds, but those dogs are not accepted by showrings.

King Shepherd make amazing companion for an active person, which will challenge their physical and mental side. As with all working dogs, even if they are „just“ companions, they need to stimulate mentally. You can give them some food puzzles or teach them new tricks to keep them happy. If we would speak about the physical activity, this is athletic breed, but they are not hyperactive. Normal daily long walk or jog is most of the time enough for them.
