Oor die ras
The French Spaniel, or Épagneul Français, is one of the oldest continental pointing breeds, descended from the setting dogs used in France for centuries. It declined in the 19th century as English breeds became fashionable, and a priest, Father Fournier, is credited with gathering surviving dogs and saving the breed around 1900.
It is the largest of the French spaniels: sturdy, calm and affectionate. It works methodically in the field and is easy-going at home, usually good with children and other dogs. It needs daily exercise and some opportunity to use its nose.
Het jy geweet?
The breed has a strong following in Quebec, where it is one of the most popular pointing dogs.
