Club Français des Brunos et des Chiens Courants Suisses Presents the 2025 Nationale d'Élevage

On June 29, 2025, the esteemed Club Français des Brunos et des Chiens Courants Suisses will proudly host its Nationale d'Élevage in Mende, Lozère. This grand event will be part of the Salon Gabalitana Chasse-Pêche-Cheval-Nature, a celebration of hunting, fishing, horses, and nature, bringing together enthusiasts and admirers of the exceptional Swiss and French dog breeds.

Celebrate Swiss Hunting Heritage

The Swiss Hound has a venerable history, with its roots traceable back to Roman times, as evidenced by historical mosaics found in Avenches. By the 15th century, the breed garnered acclaim in Italy, followed by recognition in France in the 18th century for their unrivaled prowess in hare hunting. In 1933, a unified standard was established for the four currently recognized varieties: Berner, Bruno du Jura, Luzern, and Schwyz.

Unique Qualities of the Swiss Hound

Renowned for its remarkable scenting ability, the Swiss Hound excels in hunting both solo and within packs. It adapts seamlessly to challenging terrains and is versatile across various game species. The smaller breeds, often employed in hunting rabbits and deer, present these traits in a compact form, making them equally effective.

Bruno du Jura: A Competitive Champion

Among these Swiss varieties, the Bruno du Jura stands out due to its impressive competitive achievements. The breed clinched the Coupe de France titles in 1994 and 2014, while also securing honorable mentions in 2005, 2018, and 2023. With the boom in big game hunting, the Bruno du Jura has become an essential companion during hunts, admired for its capabilities and demeanor.

The Bruno Saint-Hubert Français

Originating from the robust Aargau dog, the Bruno Saint-Hubert Français emerged in France with a new standard established by the club in the year 2000. This breed is recognized for its exceptional tracking abilities and a unique vocalization style, making it a valuable hunting partner.

A Commitment to Preservation

The Club Français des Brunos et des Chiens Courants Suisses is dedicated to preserving and promoting these iconic breeds. By facilitating a platform for sharing expertise regarding breeding and competitions, it plays an essential role in maintaining the legacies of these remarkable dogs.
