What a magnificent dog! May we present Royal, Tom and Elizabeth Baker's newest family member. Royal is a particular type of Pointer puppy - he is a Braque du Bourbonnais. Royal was born on August 9, 2008 and he is shown here at his Puppy Plan appointment on January 9 when he weighed 38.8 pounds. This breed, which is rare in our area of the country, is known to be very social, with a deep love for family and children. They are eager to please, calm, alert, and yet playful. It will be such fun to watch this beautiful dog develop into an integral part of his new family!
