The Braque-du-Bourbonnais
Information on the Braque-du-Bourbonnais
The Braque-du-Bourbonnais originates in France and is a gun dog of rustic appearance, born with a short tail, with a coat short ticked with liver or fawn coloring. The Braque-du-Bourbonnais is a dog of smaller stature, and hunts upland game as well as waterfowl.
An ancient French pointing dog, it was first described by authors in 1598 as a pleasant companion of the hunter. In the early 1900’s breeders attempted to introduce a new, faded lilac color to the breed and to produce natural bob tails. These fads put the existence of the breed in danger, but today the breed is in good hands. The Braque de Bourbonnais was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 2006.
The Braque-du-Bourbonnais is a kind and affectionate companion as well as a passionate and intelligent hunter, suitable to hunting a variety of game and terrain. This makes them very versatile for hunting upland game or hunting for waterfowl.
