History
The Talbot is a hunting dog breed that was once popular in England and France. The breed is named after Gilbert de Talbot, who was a Norman nobleman who lived in the 12th century. The Talbot was used for hunting deer, foxes, and hares. The breed almost became extinct during the French Revolution when many of the nobility were killed. The Talbot breed was saved by English noblemen who brought the dogs to England. The Talbot became popular again in England and France in the 19th century. The Talbot is recognized as a breed by the United Kennel Club and the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.
The Talbot is thought to be descended from the St. Hubert Hound, a hunting dog that was popular in France in the Middle Ages. The St. Hubert Hound was brought to England by William the Conqueror in 1066. The St. Hubert Hound is also the ancestor of the Bloodhound and the Basset Hound. The Talbot was used for hunting until the early 20th century when hunting with dogs was outlawed in many countries. Today, the Talbot is kept as a pet or companion dog.
