Closely related to the Beagle it was relatively small of stature and completely white. A hound of continental origin, it was brought over to England by William the Conqueror in 1066 and was said to be able to scent a stag at a distance of up to one mile on a cold snowy day – a feat unknown for any normal hunting dog. Through the introduction of various foreign breeds to England during the middle ages the pure, pedigree Talbot strain became increasingly rare and sadly finally disappeared around 1700.Today it is still a well known name for numerous public houses and inns throughout the UK.
