Summary
About Auvergne Pointer (Braque d'Auvergne)
Medium French pointing dog with black‑and‑white “ink splash” coat, calm yet athletic. Sensitive, affectionate and people‑oriented, it bonds closely with its family. A versatile hunter needing 1.5–2 hours of daily activity, it is rare outside France but valued for its rustic, working character.
About Japanese Chin
The Japanese Chin is a small, fine‑boned toy companion with a silky, low‑maintenance coat and expressive, upturned face. Catlike and graceful, it bonds deeply to one person, is calm and playful indoors, needs moderate exercise, and prefers gentle handling and a peaceful home.
