FRENCH POINTING DOG - PYRENEAN TYPE - Popular Dog Breed

Complete Guide to the French Pointing Dog (Pyrenean Type)

The Braque Français (Pyrenean Type) is a highly athletic, brilliantly smart, and intensely fast pointing dog. Smaller, lighter, and much more agile than the Gascogne type, they were bred to hunt game birds with blistering speed in the rugged Pyrenees mountains.

Temperament and Care

The Pyrenean Pointer is fiercely loyal and forms an intense, clingy bond with their owner. They are highly intelligent, eager to please, but notoriously sensitive; harsh corrections will ruin them. They absolutely require vigorous daily running and advanced mental stimulation. Their short, sleek coat is incredibly easy to groom.
