We have lit candles ...... not because it is Christmas, but for our F litter which was born 14 years ago. Non of these Christmas angels is yet among us but they all are unforgotten, and our thoughts are with these eight great dogs and their owners. A year ago Frizzy (FRIZZANTE FURIOSO GRIS de la Maison du Garde-Barrière) was still with us, he was the last one of that litter who then, on 1/6/2014, went to his parents to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. And like all the others prior to him he is missed like on the first day.
Even though we ourselves are not in Christmas mood we wish all our friends and visitors of this site

After many years finally a Briard from here was at a show: Jag Junior (JAG LE CANNIBAL JUNIOR de la Chaume du Bois Dieu) for the first time in puppy class at the Duo-CACIB show in Komarom/HU. It was meant as a "training" to let the rascal envisige what might come ...... and itend with great success on both days - Best Puppy. Jag Junior was not only great in the hotel and on the show ground, also lively as known at home, but he also showed his best in the ring. He ran like a young profi. For his movement he was praised from the judges on both days. We are very proud of our youngest in the crew. Let's see to which show ring our next trip goes.

We tried to be without a black Briard for some months now, but it did not work. So on May 27, 2014, we could welcome our new family member which was picked up from France after a short holiday: JAG LE CANNIBAL JUNIOR de la Chaume du Bois Dieu. We are thrilled with this beautiful and self-confident boy. Thanks so much to our friend Corinne for letting us be owned by this sweet treasure. And of course it was once again so nice to stay with Corinne and her family for some days and enjoy the great hospitality. Hopefully we can meet again in the near future.
Jag Junior entered this house and all the other dogs accepted him immediately. On his very first afternoon in his new home he had already fun with the Chinese Crested and a day later he was introduced to our other Briard Courage who also likes the little boy very much.
We are so grateful that we got the opportunity to have a puppy out of a male we just adore and love since first sight. Jag Junior is loved dearly, a dream came true!!!

De novo we can be happy and proud of one of our dogs. At the CACIB show Budapest FeHoVa Memy (Multi-Champ. INCREDIBLE ME von Shinbashi) and her handler Dorka rocked once again in the ring today: Exc. 1, Class Winner (CAC), Winners Bitch (CACIB) and BOB with a strong concurrence (13 Chinese Crested entered). Lots of thanks to honorable judge Istvan Csik, who procured with the Winners Bitch that Memy fulfills all conditions for the International Beauty Champion of FCI. Therewith, Memy gained her sixth championship at the age of not even three years .
Then, in the group ring Memy and Dorka were short listed. Thanks in this place to honorable judge Péter Harsányi that he had considered a placement of this team. Both presented a pretty look. Thanks to Dorka for the perfect handling. A real priceless final for the at least temporary show rest of Memy because now the younger dogs from here have a turn.
Two professional photos at the occasion of the BOB can now be seen in the Photo Gallery (Shows).

Today our Secret (Explicit's SINS AND SECRETS FOR CAIPIRINHA'S) is two years. Happy birthday to the sweet hairball.
Yesterday our special girl celebrated her 9th birthday: Ula (Multi-Champ. Family Song's ULA), THE girl who founded our Chinese Crested breeding, THE girl who was the first one in this kennel with not only gaining the International Beauty Championshipt, but also champion titles in some countries, THE girl who brought great dogs with her offspring, of which we can be very proud. The most heartfelt congratulation to our big treasure!!! We are grateful for the daily joy she brings to this home, and that we are owned by her. A repeated thanks goes to her breeders who entrusted us this great girl at the age of 15 months.

January 22, 2014:
Today it was meant to say good-bye to Macho (Caipirinha's ONE MAN STANDING), who started his long trip to the USA early in the morning with our friend Marlene. He will be very much missed ...... it is not easy to let a nearly 2 years old dog go ...... a part of the heart has gone with him. But he has a great home where he is loved and in best hands. In summer there will hopefully be a reunion. Macho has arrived safe in the "stopover" and will continue his to his new family tomorrow by car.
All the best dear Macho, have lots of fun and joy in your new home, and lots of success when you are in the show ring.

It is 13 years today that our first Briard boy, Sándor (Champ. SÁNDOR von Anitzberg) left to the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. It was him who made us adicted to this breed. We still miss this "gentleman" so much. ...... A candle has been lit.
January 10, 2014:
The first birthdays this year: It is five years today that our L litter was born, and four years ago the M litter was born. Happy Birthday to all the kids from these two litters.
January 6, 2014:
This is a very sad day as we had to open our arms and say good-bye to our beloved and special Briard boy Frizzy (FRIZZANTE FURIOSO GRIS de la Maison du Garde-Barrière). He was the very last direct offspring of our so very much missed Yazoo (Sél. LOULOU des Cèdres de la Montagne Noire). Another piece of our heats is broken, and with this passing another wonderful epoche of our lives is over. He was the first born of our F litter and the last one to go. ...... Frizzy was full of energy all his life long and had a huge desire to live: stomach surgery at the age of 5 months because of swallowed stones, major tumor surgery at the age of 9 years and another major stomach and intestinal surgery at the age of 12.5 years because of a swallowed stuffed toy. Within only 10 days he was back to himself and surprised our vet with being very active again. The boy will be cremated on January 8, 2014, and his urn will be placed besides his mother and other dearly missed family members.
Frizzy, you will be very much missed, but in our hearts you'll live forever and all the memories will make us strong to go through this time of grief. Thanks that you owned us for 13 years and 14 days, thanks for your unconditional love, and thanks that you were such a great companion for all the four pawed family members in this house - no matter if tiny, small or big. Run free with your mother, your siblings and all the family members on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
