I've got a friend who has 2 of them (braque francais). His female is a nice dog, however, the male is a below average dog and very aggressive with other males and even towards male humans. I'd put a bullet between the male's eyes, but my friend is so kennel blinded he can't give up on this dog. The dog was attained as a pup and socialized properly, so it's a guess why he's so nasty (this nasty disposition in this particular male may be an exception because as a rule the breed is not generally supposed to be aggressive). These dogs seem to be ground sniffers......that's great if that's what you are looking for. I personally prefer dogs with their noses in the air, so I'm sticking with English Pointers and Setters. I'm a firm believer there are good/great dogs in all breeds, though.
