I have owned a Braque Francias for 4 years. This is the most versatile dog I have ever seen. The Braque comes in two sizes 1) the lager size 55-65 lbs called the Gasgone 2) the smaller size 35-45 lds called the preness. The breed is simaliar to the german shorthair, but not as hyper. The are able to pace themselves inorder to give you a full days hunt without getting tired. When the dog is not hunting and is the family pet they are there to give you lots of love and attention. Their main goal is to please the owner more and more everyday.

We have been breeding Braque Francais (Pyrenees type) for over five years and have found them to be an incredible breed. Said to be born trained, they are naturals in the field and in the home. As natural retrievers, they work well on both upland game and waterfowl. We currently have 1 female, 2 males and all are working hunters as well as family pets. (They take plenty of flack from our two year old and five year old). Their stature lets them hunt in close quarters and their stamina helps them to hunt all day. They'll still be hunting when you're done!! Best of all, they have never been line bred and have little or no breed history of hip, retina or behavior problems. Of the dogs that we have placed, all of our owners have been extremely happy with their dogs. In fact, four of the owners have purchased second or third Braques out of subsequent litters, they were so happy with their choice. Check them out, we have found they are well worth the investment we have made in them! - Brad and Julie Boisen, Pine Island, MN
