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 Skye Terrier
Skye Terriers are long, low terriers from Scotland with a straight, floor-length double coat. Bred to hunt fox and badger, they are calm, loyal and often bond closely with one person. Reserved with strangers, they need moderate exercise, regular grooming, and thoughtful, positive training.
