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 a balanced silhouette from head to end of the J tail, a deep and wide chest, good angulations and alignment, a good topline, a big, chiseled head, long neck, proud and alert stance, and moving with an easy gait. No extremes. And of course a stable and confident temperament This is what I try to produce.

If you consider a briard puppy, please read Hugo's
story.
After seeing our dogs or website, fairly often people ask if we
only sell to show homes. Well, quite the opposite ! We much rather
our babies to go in great homes where they have the opportunity
to be a wonderful companion to their family and enjoy life with
dedicated owners. This is what is important, not that they are shown.
Historically, almost all our puppies have gone to non-show homes.
if someone wants to show their puppy, that is fine and we will work with you to support you but that is certainly
not a requirement.
