History
This griffon developed by E. Boulet in the nineteenth century is also called the Boulet Griffon. He is a longhaired pointer resembling a smooth-coated Barbet. The French Woolly-haired Pointing Griffon, which some believe is descended from the Barbet, has long existed in northern France. Boulet improved the breed around 1880 by crossing it, according to some, with pointers, the Poodle, sheepdogs, and other breeds. Now very rare in France
