Braque Francais Pyrenean Dog Names

Since the Braque Francais Pyrenean is a rare breed within the United States and Canada, there are not many that make the news or are recognizable. Most people would probably not be able to properly identify the breed much less recall an important dog that is a Braque Francais Pyrenean. However, avid hunters and hunting dog enthusiasts may be able to recognize Ace, or Champion Legacy de L’Apron du Diable. Ace is an accomplished hunting dog that has earned his NAVHDA-N.A. Prize I title. The North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) offers hunting trials and titles for dogs that successfully participated within the trials. Ace won the N.A. or Natural Ability title. This test was designed to evaluate a gun dog’s natural hunting ability. The test rates seven inherited abilities of a gun dog. Those abilities include water, pointing, tracking, nose, search, cooperation, and desire. The NAVHDA’s Natural Ability title is only eligible for dogs that are under 16 months of age. Aside from working in the field, Ace also has excelled in the conformation ring by earning his United Kennel Club (UKC) championship and has also earned several group four placements within the Gun Dog Group at UKC events. Ace was imported into Canada from France and is registered with the Societe Centrale Canine (SCC), the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC), the UKC, and the NAVHDA. Megan Price of Safron Kennels in Ontario, Canada purchased Ace as a young pup and had him imported in to add to her Braque Francais Pyrenean bloodlines. Safron Kennels is dedicated to promoting the Braque Francais Pyrenean within Canada and teaching the general public about this unique, friendly medium-sized bundle of energy. The Braque Francais Pyrenean is a wonderful breed for a family provided they are given ample exercise and just like with any dog, are properly trained.
