History
Braque Saint-Germain History & Lineage
The Braque Saint-Germain originated in Compiègne, France, in the royal kennels around the 1830’s. A mix of English and Continental Pointers, they were originally bred to hunt. Although they were popular hunting dogs during this time, their popularity among dog lovers would boom once they began to be seen in dog shows.
In 1863, France had its first dog show, and the Braque Saint-Germain was the most shown pointing breed. Their popularity, both in and outside of dog shows continued to grow into the 20th century, and in 1913 the French Breed Club was established, leading to their recognition by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.
In 2006, the breed was officially recognized by the United Kennel Club. They also hold places in a number of smaller registries around the world. Today these lovable dogs are not just popular hunters or show dogs, but wonderful family companions. They continue to garner new fans each year, among breeders and dog lovers alike.
