Pointing Griffon


Other names : Boulet Griffon

Native country : France

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

Description

Very hardy and somewhat heavy in appearance, the French Woolly-haired Pointing Griffon has a very keen nose and excels in woods and swamps. His coat is perfect protection from cold and harsh weather. He has a limited search range, tracking slowly but methodically.

Advice

He is a delightful pet who needs space and exercise, as well as regular brushing and attention to the ears.

Hunting dog. Companion dog.
