BEAUCERONS DES VIEILLES MONTAGNES

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.  Click on their names for pedigrees.

My last stud dog used was Pickoui. We lost Pickoui in 2010, but still have frozen semen on him.    I would highly recommend him to improve temperaments. Contact me for more information

Pickoui was 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 were OFA Good, and his Cardiac Ultrasound was normal.  BEU-CA22/103M/C-PI-ECHO 

He also had a CGC and ATTS Temperament Tests.  Pickoui was of the old style, more lupine look of the breed.  He had rock solid nerves and good drives.  There are not many dogs of these lines available and I was 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.

GERMAN SHEPHERDS VON DEN ALTEN BERGEN

My German Shepherds female foundation comes from Julia Priest, a well known Breeder and Trainer who has probably forgot more than I will ever know about breeding. Reza was the fourth dog from Julia, the others placed in police and search and rescue homes, and she is the one I started using for breeding.  My best breedings have been from outcrossing to Czech and Belgian lines. I choose my females for health, temperament, nerve strength and hunt and fight drives.

Reza Von Sontausen is my trailing K9.  She comes from Julia Priest who put a TD, GN and BH on her.

Reza’s littermates are SAR K9s (Rocco, owned by Ann Christiansen) and Police K9 Ronin, (Sacramento PD) Rixi, Search and Rescue, Hips ofa good.
