History of the breed

Ariégeois is originally, as its name suggests, from Ariège, in the Languedoc-Roussillon-Midi-Pyrénées region. The breed is the result of a cross between a local lighter dog and an orderly dog, probably the Bleu de Gascogne , between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. It is to Count Élie de Vézins (1835-1920) that we attribute its paternity and development. The objective was then to develop a breed called to excel in hare hunting .

Today, it is an area in which the Ariégeois always shows itself to its advantage, even if it also happens to shine against the wild boar. Its ability to navigate difficult terrain in the forest or in the mountains has always been appreciated by hunters who have used it. Mainly present in the South, it is much rarer in the rest of France and, a fortiori, in the rest of the world. After almost disappearing during the Second World War, the breed has been slowly getting a makeover. The breed was definitively recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) on October 1, 1954.
