Billies have a beautiful high-pitched voice. Like all hounds, Billies are most vociferous when they are tracking a mark, which, according to the experts, generates a unique symphony of sounds.
Billies are large hounds native to Haut-Poitou in west central France. Their ancestors – large white dogs – were frequent tenants of the royal kennels in the reign of Louis XIV.

Billies take their name from a chateau near Poitiers where Gaston Hublot du Rivault first developed the breed.Billies are most at home on the trail of hares and wild boars, which is where you will see the best of them. Consequently, the breed’s most important qualities are connected with their hunting aptitudes.
