The
briard was the all around farm dog in France. He should
be healthy and easy to care for. Our dogs have all their
health clearances and the same is required from the studs
or bitches that I may use/lease. We believe in a dog that
is true to its original type and utilitarian origins: It
is a solid worker that has the structure, the coat and the
stamina to spend all day in the field doing his job. A Briard
is to be strong, smart and level headed. It is not a glamorous
dog even though he has lots of elegance with his long coat
and easy trot. He is also the most loyal and devoted companion
to his family. Continuously learning from the heritage that
long time breeders have created, I try to breed with the
same spirit, building on the shoulders of these same breeders
and the dogs who offer this assurance generation after generation.
What to expect from my dogs: Dogs from our breedings have
the type you see in our dogs. They have lots of substance
and the very exact head a briard should have, as described
in the breed standards (AKC and FCI). They have the coarse
coat texture that is often not seen in briards anymore.
This makes for a much easier care and gives that very elegant
look to the dogs. I have all three colors, black, grey and
tawny. Overall, I like a dog, with deep and wide chest,
good angulations and alignment, balance standing and moving,
a good topline, big head, long neck, proud and alert stance,
and moving with a nice open gait. This is what I try to
produce.

Puppies
Born February 13th, 2010
Sage x TyrNan
|
You might remember TyrNan (Ch Talaria de Bejaune) when she was selected
at the Rass in 2006 and then almost received an AOM at the National.
TyrNan is a very sweet black girl. She is a daughter of Nyckel and
Georgia.
Sage, our own Sage, is all we can dream of in a briard and in a male.
You can see him on his own page (click here). There is nothing more
to add beside the fact that we hope that he gives us as gorgeous and
wonderfully tempered babies as he is. These puppies will be Rebelle's
grandchildren.

this litter.

We have also
the following plans, later in 2010:
A breeding with
Calice x Aramis
This
will be our first tawny litter. The pedigree of this litter is filled
with great dogs (of all colors), who have distinguished themselves
in France of course but also here in North America (Canada and US).
Both Calice and Aramis have the most beautiful side gait, great coat,
lots of bones and very beautiful characters. Aramis' head is one of
the very best heads I have ever put my hands on. While tawny has never
been our priority, this breeding is one we are so much looking forward
to.

A breeding with Brook
(Sage's sister) x Aramis:
This is a line breeding on Rebelle (his daughter to his grandson)
and also on some of the greatest dogs of the 1980s: Onassis du Clos
des Cedres, Fleur de Lys de Lindeau.
This will give us some black and blue puppies.
