Rufnit Kennels Braque du Bourbonnais - France Visit
France...
I just completed an unbelievable visit with Michel Comte and his family in France. Michel Comte is responsible for the Braque du Bourbonnais remaining today. He recreated the Braque du Bourbonnais Club in France. He was the Club president for 20 years, while continuing his breeder activity. His name is present on every Braque du Bourbonnais champion's pedigree. Michel Comte is a judge of the Societe Centrale Canine, for confirmation and field trial. He and his son are tracking the evolution of the breeding's, which enables them to recreate the genealogy of the Braque du Bourbonnais. I am privileged to be acknowledged as a serious breeder and have his assistance with my breeding program.
During my visit, they held two mock trials in my honor. I was introduced to many wonderful people and dogs in addition to seeing the beautiful country of France. Michel Comte and his family made my adventure much more than anyone could have imagined. I am excited about introducing them to NAVHDA and our local Chapter members during their visit to North America.
