There are so many wonderful
things to say about our girl, Brulee; it’s hard to know where to
start …
… Brulee was shown in Briard
Conformation competition on a very limited (and local) basis as
a “Special” in 2009 and was honored to finish the year as the
#11 Briard (#4 Bitch) (Breed Standings – Canine Chronicle) and
as #15 Briard (#5 Bitch) (All Breed Standings – Canine
Chronicle). As impressive as that alone sounds, what is even
more impressive is that she was one of only two Briards to
achieve Top Breed and All-Breed honors while being owner
handled (ie: not handled by a professional)! The fact that
Brulee was owner-handled to this honor speaks volumes to her
being recognized as top quality breeding stock (because Brulee’s
success was definitely in spite of, not because of, owner
(Jackie’s) handling!)!!! Oh!! Did I mention that Brulee is
only two years old!!!??!!
… Brulee is physically very
well put together – including apposite and well-balanced front
and rear angulation, an excellent top line, and a beautiful head
piece -- all of which we consider to be of utmost phenotypic
importance in our breeding program. Brulee is above average
(but by no means LARGE) in size and is solid as a rock as well
as very athletic, … yet she retains beautiful femininity. As
far as Brulee’s coat goes, we can’t rave enough about its
quality, quantity, and ease of care! Everywhere we go people
are always commenting on how impressed they are by Brulee’s
beautiful, long, luxurious coat!
… Brulee’s temperament is
fabulous! She is affectionate and very loyal, but is also
sociable with new people and other dogs; however, without doubt,
she is all Briard!! Brulee has never been finicky about eating,
has always been the picture of health, and passed her OFA/CHIC
health exams with flying colors!! We feel Brulee brings many
superior qualities to the table as a brood bitch and we expect
some outstanding (and fun to live with) Briard puppies from this
extraordinary girl!!

Jag
is an outstanding Briard with what we feel has many exceptional
qualities to offer the future of this marvelous breed called
Briard! …
… While Jag has not
yet been shown as a “Special” (with exception of a few times
(one of which he finished in the top 5 males at the 2009 BCA
National Specialty and was the only one in the top 5 owner
handled!)), … we do have plans to begin “specialing” him on a
limited basis beginning in August, 2010), two (of two) puppies
shown from his first litter (whelped in December 2008) took 2009
Briard conformation competition by storm!! BeFree’s Da Best of
Da Bears Suite Boy (Ditka) earned his AKC conformation
championship at 10 months of age while earning multiple group
placements from the classes along the way and finished #14
Briard (All Breed Standings – Canine Chronicle), and littermate,
Suite Dame De Pompadour Du BeFree (Marquise) earned her AKC
conformation championship (from BBE) at 11 months of age and
also earned multiple group placements from the classes and
finished #18 Briard (All Breed Standings – Canine Chronicle)!!
In addition to being honored in the Top 20, Marquise also won
multiple Best Puppy in Match awards, multiple Bred by Exhibitor
Group Placements, and was First Place Bred By Exhibitor Bitch at
the 2009 Briard National Specialty! We are very excited by
what these two show puppies from Jag’s first litter have
accomplished and are even more excited about the puppy
“potential” from this litter … and, of course, ... are we are
very excited about Jag’s future as a “Special”!
… Even though we
are Jag’s owners, we feel it is not out of line to say that he
is one very eye-catching boy, … if not a downright stunning guy
(who will melt your heart!)! Jag has a beautiful headpiece, a
beautiful top line, a beautiful chest, and beautiful front/rear
angles and front/rear balance!! Oh!! I haven’t mentioned his
beautiful coat, which is not only easy to care for, but has
wonderful texture, length, and is of striking tawny color!
Size-wise, Jag is definitely above average, but is by no means
a “huge” male. He is a hearty eater (with exception of when in
direct company of girls in standing heat!), he has never been
sick a day in his life, and he easily passed all of his OFA/CHIC
health exams!!
….
And again, though we are Jag’s owners and risk sounding “kennel
blind”, we feel his temperament is nothing short of
superlative!!! In our many years as dog owners, we have never
had such a biddable and loyal family member, yet, a dog who can
easily and willingly adapt to new people and situations!! Jag’s
nickname is “Steve Stills” because he is quite convincing that
he “loves the one he’s with” (but we know his heart truly
belongs to us!!) We are very excited about the phenotype and
genotype this boy has to contribute to the Briard gene pool!!!

Muenster is a happy, outgoing, sometimes willful, Briard.
Raised with many children, she takes her job as a caregiver very
seriously, but is always ready to play with her charges.
Muenster
finished her championship easily, handled primarily by her nine
year old owner, TJ, with several Best of Breeds over specials.
She moves like a dream, has a pretty outline, and gorgeous
pigment with dark, warm eyes. OFA Excellent, Elbows and Thyroid
Normal, and CSNB clear, Muenster has a lot to offer as a brood
bitch.
Muenster's mature coat, however, is far from ideal, and lacks
the warmth and uniformity in color that I strongly prefer. As a
puppy, she had coat color that made us drool with
excitement. The texture of the coat is, however, phenomenal.
While her coat color may not hurt her in the show ring, (the
judges are becoming accustomed to seeing it), I do not plan to
show Muenster as a champion, or 'Special'. Her future career
lies in the performance rings, primarily in the agility ring.
Muenster's less
than ideal coat color is why we bred her to Thunder. Thunder's
pedigree is predominately black and black born grays. The odds
of the two of them throwing a tawny are pretty slim.
Hopefully, if Muenster and Thunder do produce any tawnies, the
puppies genes will draw from the strong tawny way back behind
Thunder, as well as the beautiful tawny color of both of
Muenster's parents. Only time will tell.
