Our beaucerons

My Beaucerons are working dogs.  I do search and rescue work, mostly wilderness and disaster work. I am currently on my third generation of producing dogs for scent work.  Dogs that do this kind of work have to possess very strong nerves as they are required to hunt in many environments from noisy active urban areas to long hours of searching in all kinds of weather in our mountains.  They must be agile and move well to avoid fatique, so conformation must be correct.  They must possess a natural hunt drive and good work ethic that self motivates them to keep hunting for long periods of time.  They must be social and like to interact with people. 

My dogs are from older French working stock of Ring Sport, Pistage and Police dogs.  I have had several generations of good and excellent hips. 

My current stud dog is Pickoui.  Pedigree here:  http://aboutbeaucerons.com/cgi-bin/geneal.pl?db=beauceron.dbw&op=search&gens=pickoui&submit=Search+Now

Pickoui is a Grimm’s Lin’s Barouk des Vaillants d’Oslark, Ring I, son, and a Foxy de Chipye, Ring III grandson.  Pickoui is dual registered, AKC DN222756/01 and UKC P584-153  and DNA typed, V535292

His hips are OFA Good, and his Cardiac Ultrasound was normal.  BEU-CA22/103M/C-PI-ECHO 

He also has a CGC and ATTS Temperament Tests.  Pickoui is of the old style, more lupine look of the breed.  He has rock solid nerves and good drives.  There are not many dogs of these lines available and I am very fortunate to have him.  A special thanks to his former owners and to Claudia Batson for putting us together. Pickoui has been bred twice and the puppies so far are very nice.  His daughter out of Rhennie is currently in training for cadaver work, while her brother, Diago, is training with Norbert Safko, A Czech breeder/trainer. and a son out of Azah is here with me training for tracking/trailing.

Pickoui’s Sire:   Grim’s Lin Barouk des Vaillants d’Oslark, Ring I, Dys A

I will be doing a repeat breeding to Azah this summer.  Their son, Drago, below,  has Pickoui’s sound nerves and drives and his mothers work ethic.
