Summary
About East European Shepherd
The East European Shepherd is a large, robust working dog from the former Soviet Union, resembling a bigger, squarer German Shepherd. Loyal and protective, it needs firm, fair training, early socialisation, and plenty of structured mental and physical exercise.
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.
