French Dogs

We breed good working dogs that conform to French Breed Standards

Welcome to The Patouche Kennel

The Patouche Kennel’s aim is to produce good working dogs which conform completely to the French breed standard.

We prefer to use mainly French stud dogs or occasionally British Brittanys whom we know work.

The bloodlines we breed

To date we have imported 21 dogs mainly from the working Keranlouan kennel, but later on also added other bloodlines from the Du Bois Saussin, de St Lubin, du Petit Odon, de Tremouard, du Domaine St Anne, de Skol Louarn and des Plumes des Marais du Cotentin. In 2015 we added Lydie Du Clos de Memphis who combines Italian blood and is line bred to Ebert de Keranlouan. Since then we brought in two bitches from from Michel Corre, whose lines include de la Source aux Perdrix, and from des Plumes des Marais du Cotentin. Finally may we introduce a bitch puppy from de la Riviere Ouareau lines, sired by our own Patouche Milord to add to the UK and Irish gene pool.

Upholding True Traditions

We are not interested in just producing Show Champions. Our aim is to uphold the true traditions of the breed and keep them working.

To date Patouche is proud to have owned and/or bred 8 Champions in the UK, 4 of them are Full champions. Though our dogs include many French “Elite” studs in their Pedigree, we try to avoid the “Popular Sires” and believe in Genetic diversity for Health.

We endeavour to go to France on a regular basis and keep our dogs assessed by also showing whenever we can, especially at the Nationale D’Elevage which unites the best from all over the World. We are proud to say that our dogs have been placed consistently there.

Naturally Tailless Puppies

We are committed to importing from kennels who have the working side and strong conformation of the breed at heart. Only the best will do. We have been producing some naturally tailless puppies, without compromising on quality. We also intend to continue legally docking our puppies to enable future owners to work safely.

Puppies & Dogs for Sale

Not for the faint hearted!

Our Brittanys are true to their working background, and our Hunter-Pointer-Retrievers have excellent scenting and quartering ability combined with speed, and are not for the faint-hearted. Their minds are inquisitive and for this reason are not always suitable for novice pet owners; they can however, put their mind to agility and obedience. We are always available for help and advice after our puppies leave.
