In this category all the important things concerning breeding with our dogs are put down - health examinations, breeding confirmations, matings, litter announcements etc.
To make things clearly arranged, we have subdivided this topic into both our breeds.
- Chinese Crested breeding plans: not at the moment
- Our males have the full breeding confirmation, but not all are available for stud service
- Briard breeding plans: not at the moment
ATTENTION: We DON'T reply to inquiries concerning only questions about the prices of our puppies!
The Canine Brucellosis, the Herpes Viral, Mycroplasma bacteria and the Chlamydia are present and can affect our dogs. From the owners who want to mate their bitches with one of our studs, we request to proceed a blood screening for these diseases - we also do it with our females whenever we plan to breed them. If no certificate can be presented, ONLY an artificial insemination will be possible. The health of our dogs is of primary importance.
And here some important information, as I have heard that someone alleged that many of the dogs which have been used here for breeding, are sick. Can't people gather information before they spread such untruths and bring serious, honest breeders in discredit??? And in case dogs which were planned to be used for breeding were really sick, we would have on the one side NEVER taken such a dog into the breeding program, and on the other side the responsible breed club would have NEVER given a breeding confirmation. We have females WITH FULL breeding confirmation, but did not use them because e.g. for our perception they did not have enough teeth (which can occur unfortunately with hairless animals), respectively they are too big or did no suit the ideal of the breed for our liking. By the way, this kennel was the first one in Austria who made the gene test for CSNB with the Briards and for prcd-PRA with the Chinese Crested. So much for the reliability and honesty of this kennel.
Does it then surprise when there are breeders who don't publish any health results? Anyway, thanks a lot to such brainless people spreading lies!
NO, these dogs are NOT sick, when you find written that they are carrier of prcd-PRA or PLL. This only means that such dogs carry the gene, will never suffer from the disease and shall only be bred to a partner which does not carry such genes. It goes without saying that all breedings were considered carefully, and at the time when the first Chinese Crested were bred here, worldwide it was not relinquished to keep carriers in the breeding program as the gene pool was too small. Offspring out of breedings with one carrier had to undergo the corresponding gene test BEFORE a consideration of placing the puppies was made, and ALL owners got the health certificate of their dog. If possible - when a breeder did not insist in a certain dog - always clear dogs were placed with breeders. In case owners of carriers bred them to a carrier because they have no breeding rules or don't stick to them, this is unfortunately for the offspring and their future owners not in our influence.
