History
It is a descendant of dogs obtained by crossing an English pointer with a Continental pointer.
The breed was created around 1830 in the royal kennels at Compiègne, then in Saint Germain en Laye.
This dog was in great vogue until the beginning of the 20th century and was the most shown pointing breed in the first dog shows, notably at the first French dog show of 1863.
The French breed club was created in March, 1913.
