Are Norman Hounds good therapy dogs?

Introduction: What are Norman Hounds?

Norman Hounds, also known as the Chien d’artois, are a breed of dog originating from the Artois region of France. They were originally bred for hunting game, particularly hare and fox, and are often still used for this purpose in their native country. They are classified as a medium-sized dog, with a muscular build and a short, dense coat that can come in various shades of white and tan.

Characteristics of Norman Hounds

Norman Hounds are known for their intelligence and loyalty, as well as their high energy levels. They require plenty of exercise and stimulation to keep them happy and healthy, and can become destructive if left alone for long periods of time. They are also known for their excellent sense of smell, which makes them well-suited for hunting and tracking tasks. They are generally good with children and other animals, although early socialization is important to help them develop good behavior around others.
