Du Pré Étendu

Kennel ‘Du Pré Étendu’ was founded in 1990, after we got our first Briard in 1986. Since 2001 the typical Dutch breed Schapendoes lives at our cottage too. We live in ‘s-Heer Abtskerke. A beautiful small village in the very heart of the provence of Zeeland.


Du Pré Étendu means stretched meadow which stands for the view from our home. At the end of the garden the sheep are grazing. Du Pré Étendu is a small breeder. We think that the match between the puppy and the new owner is the most important.
If you are interested in a puppy, we would like to get acquainted first. We will take the preference of the future owner for a puppy into account, but matching comes first. The breeding is subjected to the rules of the Dutch Briard Association and the Dutch Kennel Club
All parent animals are checked on health problems and character according to the above mentioned standards. Especially, hips and eyes and character. Ofcourse the beauty standard is very well met.


All puppies are born and raised in our house. During their stay with the mother they can get familiar with many things they will experience in their future live and become reliable and self-conscience  dogs.

 

 

TheMatriarch



Multi Champion Rochelle du Pâturage Chevalier

 

The real success of Du Pré Étendu were coming when Rochelle du Pâturage Chevalier was purchased in 1993. She was bred by Jean and Francine Dumont. She is the true matriarch of the present dogs. Her beauty was already noticed when she became the best puppy at the Clubmatch of the KC Dordrecht at the age of 7 months. After that, she won a great number of prices. She was Dutch Champion and at the Clubmatch of the Dutch Braird club she was the best bitch of 127 entries. In 1996 she had her first litter and gave birth to a total of 28 puppies.

As an example for her strength and appearance, the following story; When she was mating with Norton des Plaines de Brotonne, Mme Valerie Denicou was convinced that she was only three years old. In fact she was almost eight years!!!

The Briard

Briards are a medium to large breed (56-68 cm) They are strong, muscular, extremely agile and supple with a long shaggy coat. Usual colors are black, slate grey or various shades of fawn ranging from a pale cream to a deep rich gold. Fawn Briards may or may not have black muzzles and ear tips and often have varying amounts of black or grey shading across the neck and shoulders. Texture is slightly wavy and quite coarse (described as a goat like coat) with a medium undercoat.  Ears are medium sized, hang down and very mobile and expressive. There should be ample beard and moustache hair and a long 'fringe' covering the eyes and ears - and yes - they can see through the gaps in the fringe!!

Briards are very intelligent - quick to learn but quick to take advantage of any lack of determination on the part of the owner. (You must be absolutely certain that he's not allowed on the bed or he'll keep pushing till you give in!!!) Described as 'gay and lively' -they enjoy life and show it - 'full-on'. They can and do spent time asleep tucked away in a corner when there is nothing happening - but they are just conserving their energy for when it really matters! Extremely affectionate - they live for their owner's company and are happier lying at (or on!) your feet while you sit reading a book, than outside playing without you. They will follow you all through the house - even into the bathroom!! They are excellent guard-dogs without being vicious. With their acute hearing nothing gets by un-noticed (very reassuring if you are alone in the house at night!). They bark only as a warning, but when they do, both bark and growl are fearsome!
Adult Briards are amiable, tolerant and enjoy children of all ages and puppies are fine with children over 4 years old. Boisterous puppies however, can become too overwhelming for some pre-schoolers to cope with. Dogs should never be left alone with children! Because a Briard's greatest enjoyment in life is to be with you, sharing in the family activities, he needs to be largely an indoor dog. The greatest cruelty you can inflict on a Briard is to keep him shut outside 'missing out' when his family is at home. For such a boisterous dog they make excellent house dogs and are very quickly house trained.

Briards learn most things quickly and easily provided you set limits and stick to them consistently. But as with any breed they will pick up bad habits just as easily if allowed. Briards are happiest to be sharing your company whatever you are doing. They will love long walks where they can explore ahead but continually return to 'check in' with their owners.
