Despite only reappearing recently, the Braque de l’Ariege is actually one of the Pyrenean braques, although it is less well known than the Gascogne or Pyrenean type.
These mountain pointers from south-west France are adapted to all forms of hunting. Hardy, docile and easy to train, they are powerful yet lean dogs that exude vigor. Lean legs, prominent muscles and well defined lines are sought after. Their pale orange-mottled – sometimes brown-flecked – white coat produces an elegant, distinguished dog.

Braque de l’Arièges are descended from the old Braque Français, which was crossed with white and orange-coated southern braques in the 19th century to produce a lighter, more active pointer. They were used by a small number of huntsmen in their native region, which saved the breed from dying out. A group of breeders moved to revive the breed in 1990.
