Detailed history
The Griffon is one of the oldest breeds.
Emmanuel Boulet created this race in the West of France in the second half of the nineteenth century. Related dog Griffon Korthals Griffon and poodle.
This breed known a glory era when the rancher Emmanuel Boulet, was able to fix the type.
Xenophon, 500 years before Christ, already described.
No distinction is made between the different Griffons, Spaniels and Poodles before 1683 where Sélincourt notes: "The Griffons also hunt down the nose and follow the foot better than any other by the heat ..."
It was long confused the various Griffons because in the same family of products derived from the same brood hair sometimes presented with different fleeces.
There existed Griffons haired, rather short, and other long-haired, soft, woolly undercoat in.
It was in France the Griffons woolly hair on our coast from the west and north.
Mr. BALL starts working homogenization in 1872 with broodstock a line of dogs followed for 60 years by Mr Govellain. After the painful beginning he manages to produce homogeneous dogs.
This race was a great success and was recognized exhibitions throughout France.
We saw particularly MYRA born and MARCO November 16, 1879 which even reach stardom. Marco was the first dog entered the LOF and still found today bronze immortalizing in the office of the President of the Société Centrale Canine. One can also note that the first 10 dogs are LOF registered BALL Griffons.
The twenty years of effort this breeder (originally the Briard and Beauceron in particular) were rewarded exhibition and dissemination of race throughout Europe.
Griffons Boulet are universally known, both in St. Petersburg than in Paris because during his trip to France in 1887, HIH Grand Duke Nicolas Russian went to Elbeuf at Mr Emmanuel Boulet visit his kennel and his students.
It's the hair on Marco that was used to weave cloth for jackets, including all the press has spoken, that Mr. Boulet offered Mr President of the Republic Carnot, when he visited his farm, during his trip in Normandy in 1888.
Emmanuel Boulet wanted a hardy dog near his master, a certain cachet, but able to be full auxiliary modern hunter. Several successful hunting contest, since Setters and Pointers dominated BOULETS attest to its success. The Griffon is a worthy representative of the countries that could meet Griffons in France.
Arguably BALL did for the Griffon woolly hair (BALL) that Korthal did for the Griffon Wirehaired.
Mr. BALL created the race that bears his name: "BALL" as Mr. KORTHAL, who created the KORTHAL.
