Interim The hound bearing this name was created in 1873 by Rogatien Levesque. Levesque used Bleu Gascony, Virelade (Grand Gascon-Sain-tongeois) and English Foxhound to create a breed somewhat similar to the Grand Gascon in size, color and conformation. Originally bred to hunt in packs, the Levesque has a fine nose and is fast and sturdy. He is used for all types of game. The Levesque is a lighter built dog than some of the other large French hounds, even though still good sized. Today the Levesque is quite rare, having been crossed with other breeds, or may even be extinct. Many French cynologists feel that the remaining specimens were incorporated into the creation of the Chien Francais Blanc et Noir in 1957.
