Premier
HIC
“Harrison” tawny dog 10/26/03
Harrison is named after my
favorite movie star – his French name means “The star of the
show”. He was born in Canada, bred by Christine Duval. His dam
Am/Can Ch. Nuance du Manival is from France (bred by Genevieve
Pisan), out of two Italian parents. His sire Paddy Paddington de
Guerande, was bred by Veronique Maroux in Quebec – sired by a
dog I co-own with Christine, Can Ch. Opus XCVIII del Bel Pastur
Am/Can CD, an Italian import; and out of Can Ch. Lalou Ma Leila
de Guerande, who was sired by a French import. I have always
loved the del Bel Pastur (Marzio Santopietro and Franco
Partingiani) family of dogs from Italy and Harrison is tightly
linebred on this beautiful pedigree.
Harrison turned 3 years old
recently. All of his health checks have been done.

Harrison
 |
|
He was OFA
Prelim Good at 21 months, OFA Fair (FB-1571F24M-PI) at 24
months, is PennHip Normal (.4 di), has OFA normal elbows, is
CERF normal (eyes) 9/04 (BR-684/2004—10) & 9/06 – new number
pending, is thyroid normal, is now CSNB normal 9/06, is cardiac
normal 9/06 – OFA number pending, DNA Profile #V394807, and has
earned his CHIC number.
Harrison had a successful
puppy show career. He finished his championship from the puppy
class, completely owner-handled. At the 2004 Rassemblement
(French evaluation), he received an Excellent rating and was
awarded a Puppy Select (one of the best puppies at the event).
|
 |
He received a Rass Excellent at the 2006 Rass; although he has
excellent coat quality, the length and color needed more time.
Harry is an exceptional structured dog – with
great angulation front and rear, a level topline, very harsh
coat texture and good color, a good tail, black, black eyes and
pigment and a handsome head. He is moderate height (almost 26”)
but with good body and substance. His lovely movement is
indicative of his correct structure, with good reach and drive
and is both powerful and light on his feet. Most importantly,
Harry is a sweet, Teddy Bear kind of fellow. He doesn’t know a
stranger, loves all dogs and still plays hard like a baby puppy.
Harrison sired three litters in 2005; five puppies from Ch
NeOrageux’s Poco Loco; two from Classique Risque Business and
eight from Classique Under My Spell. Eight of the puppies were
Excellent and/or PreSelect and FOUR were Puppy Select – Jylanna,
Lucille, Bailey and Pepper. His sons Jack and Marcel have
finished their championships. Marcel has a Puppy Group First,
three regular Group placements AND a Group First. Five other
puppies are pointed and 13 total puppies are being shown.
Harrison is showing a lot of promise as a sire – passing on his
friendly, sweet, very stable temperament, his correct structure
and movement and his exceptional eye color and pigment. |

The Teenage Witches –
“Sabrina” and “Charm”
Sire: Ch. Aladax’s Shape of
My Heart “True”
Dam: Ch. Mielleux’s Madison
Ave Classique “Madison”
Why the “teenage witches”,
you ask? Well, until recently, the litter sisters were teenagers
(and they still act like one). And, maybe NOT a good idea, the
girls were named after TV witches. Even though very well
socialized and both with great temperaments, the witches are a
living example of why you shouldn’t keep/have two puppies the
same age. They have a language all their own. What one doesn’t
think about doing bad, the other always does. The witches don’t
look alike and don’t behave alike, but what a duo they are. And
it’s hard to believe that they are Madison’s daughters – Madison
was the easiest, sweetest, mellowest Briard on earth, outgrowing
her naughtiness at a very young age. Hopefully both girls will
take after Mom – SOON!!!! |

Classique Under My Spell
“Sabrina”
I really AM under her
spell. Sabrina is the smart, high drive one of the pair. Clicker
trained since a young age, she is a heeling fool, loves to work,
will do anything for a cookie and must be part FLEA. She can
jump anything, can open anything (like her dad True), has a huge
English vocabulary, may be smarter than her owner and constantly
switches from being the perfect angel to the perfect devil.
Sabrina is a deep, clear
orange tawny with jet black mask and ears (like her mama). She
has a beautiful outline, with a long neck, perfect topline,
correct body length and pretty angles. And her self confidence,
intelligence and attitude will convince you she IS perfect, even
though she isn’t, of course. Someday I will get good pictures of
her (some say that I am photographically challenged) so everyone
else can see how pretty she is. She will be finished and will
then become my working girl – in Rally obedience and tracking.
She’d probably rather be herding sheep (LOVES them) or doing
agility, but her owner is getting toooo old for those sports.
My newest puppies are from
Sabrina (bred to Harrison), born October 2005. Jack and Jyl live
at Classique and both are constant reminders of their beloved
grandmother Madison – same sweet, biddable temperaments; and the
life of the party like Mom Sabrina. Marcel, Rocco, Augie RN,
Velma, and Reggie will also be seen in the conformation and
performance rings in upcoming years. |

Aladax’s Classique Utmost
Charm “Charm”
Charm is the calm, quiet one
of the witches, although joins in many of her sister’s
mischievous moments. She is extremely sweet and cuddly, would
like you to think that she isn’t very smart, can find a crumb
anywhere and anytime, and looks much more like her grandmother
Tille (Ch. Petiller Joie de Bejaune). After a litter of puppies,
Charm will be finished, but unless sleeping on beds or stealing
food from her housemates (and off the kitchen counter) is a dog
sport, Charm will probably not get any titles at the end of her
name.

Ch. Classique As Good As It Gets HIC
“Jack” tawny dog 10/24/05
Sire: Ch Grinzing’s Un Jeune
Premier HIC Dam: Classique Under My Spell HIC
Jack is the current “love of
my life” – everyone knows how much I LOVE boy Briards and Jack
is everything I love about the Briard – sweet, handsome and
fun!! He has a few bad habits like opening gates, jumping 6’
fences and eating telephone cords, costing me a lot of money to
replace cords and electrifying all the fencing, but I spend most
of my time smiling and cuddling with him anyway.
|
|
Jack earned both majors and 13 points by the age of 9 1/2 months
and finished recently (after his owner AND the AKC miscounted his points and we
thought he was finished months ago). He earned his HIC at the
National, placed in all of classes and was rated Excellent at
the Rass. |
|
Too happy movement prevented a Pre-Select, but the M.
de Brouwer had a lot of wonderful things to say about him
anyway.
Jack is a more
extreme/fancier dog than his father (Harrison) – taller,
leggier, better showdog. He has a beautiful head with length,
strength, high ears, and his father’s beautiful black eyes and
pigment. He has wonderful coat quality and color and is well
angulated and has beautiful movement, when he isn’t bouncing
around having a good time.

Classique As Time Goes By HIC
“Jylanna” (Jyl) tawny bitch 10/24/05
Sire: Ch Grinzing’s Un
Jeune Premier HIC Dam: Classique Under My Spell HIC
Jack’s sister Jyl is the
reserve winners “queen” here, but is now back in the show ring,
“turning heads” of the judges and other exhibitors, so should
finish soon. She is the spitting image of her grandmother
Madison with the intelligence and drive of Mom Sabrina.
Jyl was Excellent/Puppy
Select at this year’s Rass.
Classique
Angelino Jolie
“Jolie” tawny bitch 1/27/05
Sire: Ch Grinzing’s Un Jeune Premier HIC Dam:
Classique Risqué Business
The pretty Jolie
has returned to Classique to live. After growing back her shaved
down coat, she will be shown. Although much smaller and
feminine, Jolie is a constant reminder of her mom Risque, |
