Anyone ever had a Porcelaine?

I rang up about this guy earlier, and just wondered if anybody on here's ever had one. If he's still available on Friday I'm going to meet him though I have a few misgivings about him so not sure if he'll be the right dog for us.

Wow what a unique looking dog, never heard of them. Just wanted to wish you luck.

Exciting news

. I'd love to meet one of these. They're very rare here - odd to see one in rescue. Hope it goes well.

As far as I'm aware, there aren't any in North America.

he hoominz sister has a german short haired pointer and we noticed that if he and a basset girl had pups they'd look like that dog...

LOl They're a very ancient French breed that were wiped out like a lot of aristocracies' hounds in the French Revolution. They were brought back in the 19th C. I think they look like and act like the St Hubert (predecessor of Bassets and Bloodhounds). Not many at all here mostly in France and few in Europe.

Never heard of them but he's gorgeous, love the bassety ears!

Good luck, hope he's right for you and vice-versa.
