The Talbot hound was a dog, usually white or mainly white, which was used for hunting for a long period of time, but appears to have become extinct around the end of the 18th century or a little later. It was possibly related to the bloodhound. Even after the breed disappeared, its appearance was well-known to people, so it was an easily depicted and recognised subject for pub signs. There are still many pubs and inns in existence which were named after this dog. Image Image
