    Braque d'Auvergne

    Although the Braque d'Auvergne has been around in the UK for quite a while and has earned the reputation of being a reliable and trustworthy in the field as a hunt/point/retrieve dog. They are also known to be calm and affectionate in a home environment and thrive on being involved in everything that goes on in the home. The breed was recognised by The Kennel Club in 2016 and their numbers are slowing rising in the UK with more well-bred puppies being registered every year.
