One of my favorite breeds in real life, I don't think they've been on this site before so 5 people will need to be drawn to breeding them. It may be fruitless to try to get them added to the game but its worth a shot. 

They are a French breed, considered one of France's oldest scent hound's with records dating back to the 1700's. After the French Revolution the breed had to be outcrossed to prevent extinction, breeds like the Billy, Gray Harriers, and Gascon Saintongeois gave the Porcelaine the tenacity, size, and strength to hunt wild boar and stag. In 1971 a club in France was established to protect them, and in 1975 they gained FCI regognition. 

The Porcelaine is a medium sized dog, averaging 21-24 inches at the withers, lack of, or excessive height is a disqualificaton. They have a single-coat, fur smooth and glossy, the coat should never be harsh or thick. They are white, with orange, roundish spots that should not extend to a mantle, orange ticking on the ears is also a breed characteristic. 

The breed should never be shy or timid, instead elegant, graceful, cat-like, and proud. They're very eager to take part in family activities, fond of family and friends, including children. Despite being scent hounds, and the characteristic baying call, they are not excessive barkers and can excel as pets. They have a high prey-drive that should be considered while housing and handling.
