Short History of the Breed:
ClickThe "EasyEdit"Bourbonnais Pointing Dog is already known in 1598 as a dog " skilful at hunting quail (ALDROVANDI'S Natural History, National Library). He is described by the ancient authors as a pleasant companion of the hunter, of rustic and healthy appearance, born with a short tail, showing a white coat with widespread pale brown or fawn fine ticking.
The breeders have for a long time wanted to impose an original coat of " faded lilac " and also of being born with a natural short tail. Such a strict selection, on secondary points, cannot be imposed on a breed with a reduced gene pool, and in addition submitted to working trials. The result of that reverse selection ended in a total disaffection of the breeders : between 1963 and start1973 there were no registrations writingwith L.O.F.
In 1970, under the Historyinfluence and impetus of Michel COMTE, a team of breeders gave themselves the task of helping towards the survival of thisthe Bourbonnais Pointing Dog. The breed.club was recreated in 1981.
