The sound and ethical promotion of a breed begins with the quality of the products one offers. The stockbreeders, members of the club, offer French Spaniels of an exceptional quality. Every day, this breed that was relatively unknown in North America about thirty (30) years ago, gains in popularity not only with hunters but also with those who want a wonderful family dog. The French Spaniel is calm, easy to train and docile with children. Hunters should not forget that the Quebec hunting season begins towards mid-September and finishes on December 31st.
