Braque Francais litter ready soon
Tim Fredricks was blessed with 10 puppies from his Braque Francais, Xena. Braque Francais are similar to German Shorthaired Pointers in looks, generally with a slighter build and bred to be more calm when not in the field.
Pups will be ready to go home around the end of Octobe
Check out Tim’s facebook post with many more pics and updates on the pups.
