Billy Information
The Billy originated in France in the 1800's. The Billy is named after the home of the breeder who created them- Monsieur Gaston Hublot de Rivault, who lived at the Chateau de Billy, in Poitou. He used mainly bicolor Ceris hounds and the now extinct Montemboeuf, another bicolor breed. Foxhounds and the Larye, with its keen nose, have also contributed to the lineage.
Only two Billy's survived World War II. These dogs were used by the son of the breed's founder to save the hounds from extinction.
The Billy is a large hound with distinctive pale coloration. Although they are not heavy dogs, a pack of Billy's is nevertheless powerful enough for their favorite quarry; deer, and more than a match for wild boar which they still track in France today.
