A regular hunting partner bot a Braque Francais bi##ch three years ago. She was imported from Canada. Very nice house dog I am told but below par as a grouse dog. Despite some time with a PD pro in her first year and plenty or opportunities, she didn't point a grouse until she was over 2 YO. Don't know if she has a subpar nose or limited pointing instincts; but doesn't make the grade as a cover dog. (From a sample size of ONE).
If I wanted a Continental PD, I would get a Britt or a GSP. There are plenty of good lines from both breeds to chose from.
