History |
|
A Continental pointing breed that is descended from the old French Braques, which were combined during the 19th Century with the orange and white Southern Braques to give them more lightness and activity. A few huntsmen from the Ariegeois region continued to use the breed, which saved them from extinction. In 1990 a team of breeders decided to devote themselves to the breed’s survival. The Braque de l’Ariege was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 2006. |
