We are so excited this year we are going to breed our Braque Francais Ivy to Chambois Braque Francais Flocon. We are currently waiting for Ivy to go into season then we are off to Montreal for the breeding. Until that time Ivy is keeping busy playing with her toys and exercising. Ivy loves to play will all toys it is good for her because it keeps her active and busy below she can be seen playing with one of her favorite toys.

Providing Ivy with toys is an excellent way form keeping her chewing or playing with items that she's not suppose to have. However she sometimes finds things around the house that are more entertaining. Such as the door stop.

Ivy is an active dog and loves to run and play inside and out, providing Ivy with the exercise she needs is easy in the summer months because it is warm outside. However Braque Francais have a very thin coat and do not have a high tolerance for the cold, so giving Ivy the activity in the winter can be challenging. The best way that we have discovered for Ivy is to put her on a treadmill. The treadmill is not Ivy's favorite way to burn off energy since she would rather be outside but she can be on it for 15 minutes at a time 2-3 times a day, which is more then what I can do.
