Rufnit Kennels Braque du Bourbonnais – Training

Working with owners and their canines to stimulate a positive companionship.


Obedience and Field training as well as, family companion and weekend hunting partners.


Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your companion.  It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable.  A well-trained dog is more confident and can be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained dog.


Due to our success in training Braque du Bourbonnais’, we have committed ourselves exclusively to this breed.  Advanced reservations are required as we limit our clients to a maximum of four at any given time.

A dog is the only thing on this earth that loves you more than he loves himself.

There are many reputable breeders of fine upland hunting dogs throughout North America.  Unfortunately in this business like so many others, the buyer needs to be aware. Make sure that the puppy comes from a line of dogs that have good health credentials.  There should be a good history in the pedigree of dogs that perform in the field (field trials, hunt tests, etc.).  As a rule, avoid “backyard breeders.”  Leave the art and science of breeding to the breeders experienced with the breed and have produced proven progeny.  Take the time to make contacts and see if there are any consistent problems reported about the particular breeder you have selected.  NAVHDA (North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association) is the foundation registry and testing organization for the Braque du Bourbonnais in North America.  We sell to only responsible owners and utilize the “Breeding Restriction” registration offered by the registries.  Rufnit Kennels assumes a lifetime responsibility for the canine lives we place on this earth.  We require the dog/pup be returned to Rufnit Kennels should a situation arise and a dog/puppy need to be relocated.
Remember that the least expensive part of the cost of a dog is its initial price. Vet bills, feeding, kenneling, training etc. are what really cost the most. Our advice: Do your research, you and your companion will benefit in the long run.
