Our first litter was born in 2008 and since we have had 1-2 litters a year. All dogues live inside the house with us as a family and all puppies born here are raised inside the house as well, so when they leave for their new home they are used to life in a family, other dogs, a child etc.
We very much consider dog breeding a on-going learning experience and we are very grateful for the more experienced breeders who has helped us during the years. There has been many phone calls :-) Our goal is to breed healthy, typical and well balanced dogues with great movement. While we certainly believe in health testing (we test our dogues for HD, ED and heart disease before breeding them) we don't think it says everything there is to say about the dogue. While there has been a massive focus on hips and elbows (which can certainly also be a big problem) the real "killers" seems to be cancer and different kinds of organ failure. Longevity is a very important issue for us, as far too many dogues die at a very young age. We think old age in the lineage often can be seens as a good indicator of good health, but of course there are no garantees. We like to focus on old proven bloodlines rather than the "next new thing".
Unless there are puppies in the house we try to go to some of the big shows around Europe and the french Nationals is a must! |
