Other Information: Selgine is called "Nicole" after the lady of the kennel that produced her. She has excellent scenting and retrieving instincts. When the conditions are good, she has pointed released quail at over 50 feet away. That is good enough, don't you think? Nicole comes from a relatively new "Pop and Mom" kennel. Her producer's Bretons won their first championship in 2001. However, her ancestry is still 36% French Trialers and Champions in the first three generations. 71% of her ancestors are black and white. We think Selgine has excellent conformation. Her hips were rated "Excellent" in France. Her parents were "A" and "C." We have not had opportunity to test her in the T.A.N.' but she points and retrieves quail, and honors, so she is OK on that.
