Dog History

This breed is claimed to have been established in the 1830s in France by crossing English Pointers with Braque Français. It claims to have a highly posh ancestry. King Charles X of France was given two highly skilled hunting English Pointer dogs. Miss, the female, was mated to a local Braque Saint-Germain dog, and so the Braque Saint-Germain was born. The breed was originally known as Compiegne Pointers because of the site of the kennels where they were bred, but when the kennels migrated to the Saint Germain district, the name was changed. Many of the puppies were presented in dog exhibitions all throughout France, and they were the most popular Pointing breed at the time.

The Braque Saint-Germain breed was once quite popular, and a club was created in 1913 with the goal of increasing the breed's popularity and improving it. Unfortunately, each World War drastically diminished the population of the Braque Saint-Germain. They never entirely recovered from the massive population decrease that happened in the early part of the twentieth century, but they remain a popular breed with a strong following and are not now endangered.

English Pointers have been allowed to enter the gene pool of the Braque Saint-Germain in recent years in order to expand their numbers and offer some genetic diversity to the breed. Despite the fact that few, if any, breed members have been transferred abroad, the UKC gave the breed full membership in its gun dog category in 2006.
