About Griffon Fauve de Bretagne
Medium-sized French scenthound with a rough golden to red-fawn coat, dark expressive eyes, and sturdy, athletic build. Bred for wild boar, it’s energetic, curious, social, and gentle at home, needing ample outdoor exercise, secure fencing, and regular but simple coat care.
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.
