Porcelaines are medium to large dogs. Adult males typically weigh between 50-65 pounds, while females usually weigh around 45-60 pounds. Their height generally ranges from 20-25 inches at the shoulder, with males being slightly larger than females.

Porcelaines are known for their friendly, affectionate, and intelligent temperament. They are typically social dogs that enjoy the companionship of their families and can be good with children and other pets when properly socialized. Porcelaines are eager to please but can demonstrate an independent streak due to their hunting background. Early socialization and consistent training are essential to help them develop good manners.

The coat of the Porcelaine is short, dense, and smooth, providing protection against the elements. The breed is predominantly white with orange or lemon markings, giving it a striking appearance. Their grooming needs are minimal; occasional brushing is sufficient to keep the coat clean and healthy.

This breed thrives in active households where they receive plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Porcelaines need space to roam and prefer homes with yards or access to open areas. They are best suited for families that can provide regular companionship and do not do well when left alone for prolonged periods.

Porcelaines enjoy a variety of activities that engage their natural instincts and energy levels. Daily walks, runs, and playtime are essential for their physical health. They excel in hunting-related activities, tracking, and scent work, allowing them to utilize their keen sense of smell. Participation in dog sports such as agility and obedience training can also provide them with mental challenges and opportunities for bonding with their owners.
