Talbot (SciiFii)

The Talbot is a type of hunting hound that was common in England during the Middle Ages. The Talbot was once extinct since the end of the 18th century, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii due to demand for more de-extincted dog breeds as common household pets and security dogs. The Talbot is a small to medium-sized white-colored dog, with short legs, large powerful feet, a deep chest with a slender waist, long drooping ears, and a very long curled tail. It is shown in one well-known example at Haddon Hall with a fierce facial expression. It is believed to be an ancestor of the modern Beagle and Bloodhound. It is a scenthound (bred for the quality of its nose), but it is uncertain whether it was also bred as a sighthound (bred for the quality of sight and speed), or a dog used for digging out quarry, nor is it known what type of quarry it was bred to hunt, whether deer, fox, boar, etc. The talbot is known for being a very affectionate and loyal, making it a relatively suitable family pet.
