scent hounds. It is harmonious in its lines, endowed with strong bone,
good muscle and a lot of substance, but without ever appearing heavy. It

is imposing and full of nobility. Its attitude is solemn. The head and
neck attract attention because of their abundant, supple and thin skin,
hanging in deep folds. Its movement is impressive, rather slow and with
a certain rolling gait but lithe, elastic and free. Noble and dignified
expression, characterised by solemnity, wisdom and power.

placid, kind and sociable with people. Particularly attached to its
owner. Tolerant of kennel companions and other domestic animals.
