A close relative of the English Foxhound, the Anglo-Français de Petite Vénerie is a French hunting hound historically run in packs just like their English cousin.

Le Comte de Monte-Cristo AKA: The Count of Monte Cristo * Year: 2024 * Country: France * Breed content: Low

A new adaptation of the classic Alexandre Dumas novel featuring a hunt scene.

Ultime grida dalla savana AKA: Savage Man Savage Beast * Year: 1975 * Country: Italy * Breed content: Low

This infamous exploitative docudrama merges scripted footage with occasional true documentary footage as it follows violence against humans and animals, wild and domestic, around the world. The fact that most of the incredibly brutal animal cruelty shown on film was staged, including animals tortured, forced to fight, disemboweled, and killed for the demands of the filmmakers makes it unbearable to watch. The stag-hunting scene features an Anglo-Français de Petite Vénerie pack, which are unharmed, although the same cannot be said for the decapitated stag.

The English Coonhound, also known as the American English Coonhound or Redtick Coonhound, is far from a usual suspect when it comes to performing dogs. Surprisingly, though, you can see this breed in two main film roles from the 1930s and 1970s.
