Hunting Dog Association).</div> <bR> <div> The Braque du Bourbonnais (Bourbonnais Pointer) proved to be the "Complete Companion" for the family and field.  Not only was Rufnit Kennels introduced to a

"standard" for testing purposes, Rufnit Kennels can compare our Braque du Bourbonnais with other versatile breeds.  We are producing Braque du Bourbonnais' with fantastic hunting instincts and abilities.  Rufnit Kennels has produced the youngest Braque du Bourbonnais to receive "Prizes" in Natural Ability through NAVHDA at six months of age (proving <I>true</I> Natural Ability), the Utility
