Bourbonnais Pointing Dog: Bourbonnais Pointing Dog Breed Description

Let's get one thing out of the way: this French pointing dog's name is pronounced brack-do-bor-bon-NAY. Originally bred in the historic French region from which the Bourbonnais takes his name (the first part, 'Braque, ' means 'pointer'), the brand was recreated from scratch in the 1970s using his finest descendents and a stable of comparable breeds. He remains popular in France and figures strongly on the North American canine scene, but is not recognized by the UK Kennel Club. A sensible, upstanding dog, the Bourbonnais is well-suited to family life, particularly if the family are the sort of keen outdoors types you read about in books.
