The dog is known to be the best friend of the human species. There are many homes that decide to welcome one, but it is advisable to do so responsibly. In this sense, since France 3they point out that there is two dog breeds that are in danger of extinction.

It is about the Pont-Audemer Spaniel and Picardy Spaniel. The French media assures that only a few litters are born throughout the year. And it has echoed the story of a couple who lives in the French region of Somme, in Upper France.

They are called Lorena Glesiss and Thomas Anache. Both have set out to try to help the species, to do so, they have given shelter to one of the few litters that have been born to them. “We are trying to increase the number of the breed: There are only about 200 specimens in the world.“she told the aforementioned media.

Likewise, they have specified that one of the main challenges that breeders of this type of dog have is trying to avoid inbreeding. Glesiss has indicated how “difficult” it is for them to find a stud. “For this year’s litter, we went to Germany,” he said.

They have had this project that the French couple has undertaken in mind for three years. And they do it because “They are small breeds and they need breeders to continue”Anache pointed out, in statements for France 3.

They opted for this type of dog because they like them, both their morphology and their love for water. “Its particularity is its kindness, his joy of life, his tranquility at home and his proximity to his master“Glesiss added.
