Adult male Braque Francais
The Braques fran?aises (FCI breeds No. 133/134) are hunting dogs, from a very old type of gun dog used for pointing the location of game birds for a hunter. There are two breeds of Braque fran?ais, both from the south of France, the Braque francais, type Gascogne and the Braque francais, type Pyr?n?es (French Pointing Dog – Pyrenean type, smaller size, No. 134.) They are popular hunting dogs in France, but are seldom seen elsewhere.

Both breeds of Braque fran?ais are medium to large sized dogs with long legs and long drop ears. The tail is traditionally docked but may also be long, or naturally short. The coat is short, and chestnut brown or white speckled with brown in colour, often with one or more large brown spots.

The head is usually brown. The Gascogne is about 10 cm (3.9 ins) taller at the withers than the Pyrenean.
