Nestled in the charming town of Strafford, New Hampshire, our journey with the magnificent Beauceron breed began in 2016 with the arrival of our beloved Xena. Her intelligence, athleticism, and unwavering loyalty immediately captivated us, sparking a deep and enduring passion for this remarkable French herding breed. What started as a love for one exceptional dog quickly blossomed into a commitment to preserving and enhancing the wonderful qualities that make the Beauceron so special.
Witnessing Xena's zest for life and her remarkable "velcro dog" attachment solidified our admiration for the breed's active nature and beautifully balanced temperament. This firsthand experience fuels our dedication as breeders. Our primary objectives are rooted in producing Beaucerons who are not only physically sound and healthy but also possess the stable and confident temperaments essential for thriving in any environment. We meticulously plan our breedings, carefully considering pedigrees and health histories to ensure we are contributing to the overall well-being and vitality of the breed.
We believe that a well-bred Beauceron should be capable of excelling in a variety of roles. Therefore, we strive to produce dogs with the genetic predisposition and inherent drive to succeed in the show ring, showcasing their breed standard conformation, and in the exciting world of various sporting disciplines recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the United Kennel Club (UKC). From agility and obedience to herding and more, we are thrilled by the versatility and trainability of our Beaucerons.
However, above all else, we recognize and cherish the Beauceron's innate ability to be an exceptional family companion. Their loyalty, intelligence, and affectionate nature make them integral members of any household. Our breeding program is ultimately geared towards producing well-adjusted dogs who will bring joy, companionship, and unwavering devotion to their families.
As responsible breeders, we are deeply committed to the health and well-being of our dogs and the breed as a whole. We strictly adhere to the comprehensive health testing recommendations established by the American Beauceron Club. This includes evaluations for hip and elbow dysplasia, cardiac health, and eye conditions, among others. We believe in transparency and are always happy to discuss our health testing practices.
Our home in Strafford is filled with the happy energy of our Beaucerons, and we are passionate about connecting our carefully bred puppies with loving homes where they will be cherished and given the opportunity to reach their full potential, whether that's in the show ring, on the agility course, or simply as a beloved member of the family. We welcome inquiries from those who are as captivated by this incredible breed as we are and are committed to finding the perfect match between our Beaucerons and their future families.
