Description
The Braque Français, type Pyrénées, is a gentle soul wrapped in an athletic package. They form incredibly strong bonds, craving close companionship and often shadowing their favorite people. While eager to please and easily trained, their instinct to hunt is powerful; a sudden scent can transform them from a loyal follower into a focused tracker. They thrive on activity and love to explore, but true happiness for them is a day spent working alongside their human, followed by a cozy evening curled up at their feet. Their expressive eyes communicate a deep intelligence and an unwavering devotion.
