Orthopedic Foundation for Animals

Founded in 1966, our mission is to promote the health and welfare of companion animals through a reduction in the incidence of genetic disease. The OFA website and databases provide the tools needed, whether you are a veterinarian, breeder, or prospective animal owner.

The OFA databases are central to the organization’s objective of establishing control programs to lower the incidence of inherited disease. They serve all breeds of dogs and cats, and provide breeders a means to respond to the challenge of improving the genetic health of their breed through better breeding practices. The OFA databases are expanded as more tests become available.

Separate from the DNA Repository, the OFA offer DNA-based disease testing through an exclusive license arrangement with University of Missouri. All tests offered, as well as information about kits, etc are on the DNA Test page.

The CHIC (Canine Health Information Center) database is a tool that collects health information on individual animals from multiple sources. This centralized pool of data is maintained to assist breeders in making more informed breeding choices, and for scientists in conducting research. The CHIC program is breed-specific. In order to be in this database, a dog must be CHIC Certified. Read more about the CHIC Certification program.

The CHIC DNA Repository collects and stores canine DNA samples along with corresponding genealogical and phenotypic information to facilitate future research and testing aimed at reducing the incidence of inherited disease in dogs. Read more about the DNA Repository.

Beaucerons des Monts du Lac

Trappe, MD

Since 1997 I have bred over 45 litters of beaucerons under “des Monts du Lac” affix. My dogs have won the highest awards for Beaucerons both in the United states of America and Europe. One of these Beaucerons has made history in the USA by being the first Beauceron to ever win an AKC all-breed Best in Show. The same dog also placed 3rd best herding dog at the Westminster Kennel Club Show in New York City in 2012. Today still no other Beauceron has placed in the group at that show. Throughout the years, I have also bred 2 National Specialty winner, 3 World Champions, 3 French Champions , 3 Vice French Champions and many other International and American Champions.

As a young person, I was a military officer and canine handler in the French army. So over the years, in addition to breeding beautiful sound dogs (mind and body) I have also developed a passion for search & rescue and the working ability of the breed. I am currently a FCI licensed temperament judge for herding dogs. Over 15 years I worked as a dog instructor in several dog clubs. I am currently captain of the French team for the World Search and Rescue Championship. I was even a board officer on the French National breed club called “Club des Amis du Beauceron”, specifically the General secretary for 4 years and participated on the working dog committee for 8 years.

Regalé Beaucerons

Bethany, CT

I purchased my foundation bitch from a breeder who bred the number one most winningest Beauceron in AKC history, Gideon. My foundation bitch, sired by Gideon, has now become the Highest Ranking Female in AKC, second only to her sire as the most winning Beauceron in AKC history. Maîtrise has been number one in the Beauceron Bred Statistics for 5 years. Maîtrise is the first female Beauceron to earn Best in Show, Reserve Best in Show, and the only Beauceron to earn Grand Champion Gold! And now, Maîtrise is the first and only Beauceron, male or female, to earn the title of Grand Champion Platinum! Her offspring, Regale's Casino Royal Definitely a winner aka Roulette, is now the Second female Beauceron to win Best in Show. Other titles include Multi-National Championships, temperament test, canine good citizen advanced, canine good citizen urban, rally novice, trick dog advanced, barn hunt novice, and lure coursing.

I chose the very best Beauceron I could find and spent two and a half years searching for a worthy and sound mate for my first litter. I found that dog at the French Nationals. His winning record rivals my female. Starting with the very best Beauceron I could acquire has led to a foundation like no other. Two of the pups from Maîtrise's first litter in September 2020, have received Grand Champion Status before their second birthday, plus the second only to her mom, Best in Show. My purpose for breeding, is to try to produce a better generation than the last, staying true to the standard of excellence, in all aspects of the breed, conformation and breed type, health, purpose, and temperament. If you have any interest of showing this magnificent breed please contact me. The characteristics of this breed is paramount, it is my goal to emulate the written breed standard. My foundation bitch has more than met those goals and I am looking forward to her prodigy and others in the Regale family to more than meet them, as well.

The Beauceron for me, is an elegant but yet rustic breed that has a formidable appearance yet is a sweet family dog. A dog that will not tire when asked to work, play, perform, or just be at your side.

Rayon de Soleil Beaucerons

Fort Mill, SC

Here at Rayon de Soleil Beaucerons we are dedicated to producing versatile, purpose driven Beaucerons with correct type, solid nerve, and working ability that holds up in the real world, not just the show ring. Though our program is relatively new and growing, our dogs have already made their marks titling in conformation, herding, agility, scentwork, bitesports, disc, and training for SAR. We also have several actively working as service dogs, reflecting the stable and thoughtful temperaments we prioritize.

Temperament and structure aren’t just assumed, we test for them. Our breeding dogs all undergo various temperament evaluations, including the French Journee evaluation where we've had several of our puppies receive 9/9/9 scores and excellent+ ratings, demonstrating exceptional character, conformation, and sociability under pressure.

A sound body is just as important to us as a sound mind. We follow the OFA recommendations for health testing to CHIC requirements, often testing above and beyond the minimum required for CHIC. We remain committed to producing sound, healthy Beaucerons with longevity and functional structure.

All of our puppies are raised in our home, each litter is carefully planned with the goal of producing well balanced Beaucerons who are as reliable in the home as they are driven in the field.

Berger de Haute Crête

High Ridge, MO

At Bergers de Haute Crête, we are a small, dedicated Beauceron kennel focused on preserving correct breed type, sound temperament, and true herding ability. Our dogs are bred first and foremost to be functional, stable, and versatile—capable of excelling in performance sports, conformation, and active herding or companion homes.

Our breeding program emphasizes comprehensive health testing in accordance with American Beauceron Club recommendations, thoughtful selection for temperament and structure, and purposeful pairing to support the long-term integrity of the breed. Puppies are raised in a structured, enriched home environment with intentional socialization (Puppy Culture) and early foundation work.

We believe responsible breeding extends beyond placement. We value education, mentorship, and lifelong support for our puppy buyers, and we are committed to stewardship of the Beauceron as an honest, capable herding breed.

Though our home base was previously Missouri, we do travel due to Military commitments. We also work with several co-owners/breeders throughout the U.S. and are happy to work with potential Beauceron owners to find the breeder that best suits them.

Serious inquiries welcome.

Highside Kennel

Once upon a dreary day, circa 2009, I stumbled across the beauceron and made it a goal to see if it clicked. I put off getting one, though I was tempted, as I lived in an apartment in Los Angeles at the time. Many years later, I got my first and second... then fifth or sixth.

The dogs that make up our lovely kennel have come from a variety of breeders in the US and abroad. I've found that while every dog has made me happy, not every kennel had what I wanted ultimately. One of my many goals is to be a step above where possible, and improving when able.

Our main goal is to provide sound dogs in their entirety. Health is more than just hips, elbows or heart. It's mentally and physically balanced, capable of doing anything as pets for the baseline. We aim to produce competetive show stock and sportable dogs, but ultimately every dog is a pet first and foremost... because for every moment in a ring, there's hundreds more outside of it. Start where it counts most, and aim for the Highside.

Prairie Crest Beaucerons

Dekalb, Missouri

The home of Prairie Crest Beaucerons lies in the rolling hills of northwest Missouri. A lifelong dream is realized in this small hobby kennel devoted to preserving the centuries old breed of the Beauceron. I participate in AKC’s Breeder of Merit program and Breeder with a Heart. I am a member of the American Beauceron Club and have served two terms as a Regional Director plus as a Committee Chair.

My love of dogs began very early in my childhood. I started with my first show Shetland Sheepdog in 1983. I enjoy the aspects of the conformation world; the training, the conditioning and time in the ring. My favorite part of showing and breeding is puppyhood. My litters are few and selective to produce the best individual possible. Because of my passion for the Beauceron, I have been fortunate to travel throughout France multiple times. I competed in the 2012 French National Elevage with GCH Dominicia Mes Yeux Vigilants. I have traveled to use stud dogs and to bring home individuals to strengthen Prairie Crest. I have been lucky to have had many mentors and generous friends who have guided me to my dream of Prairie Crest Beaucerons.

I honor each puppy and individual who may come to and through Prairie Crest Beaucerons. Each puppy is sold with a contract which I take very seriously to protect my Prairie Crest Beaucerons. Your new family member might be waiting for you here at Prairie Crest. Through my application process, I hope to match you with the best individual possible.

I understand that to bring a Beauceron individual into your home and life is a big step. This breed connects with its people on a different level than most breeds. Admittedly so, their adolescence can be full of pranks and mischief if not given structure. But, the well-rounded adult brings such joy and companionship that it is worth it ALL in the end.

I have imported top French lines and am fortunate to have individuals from the top US Beauceron breeders to keep improving temperaments, structure and health. I understand the emotional, time and financial investment. Please look around and feel free to contact me with any questions. I will be happy to explain my puppy foundation techniques and protocols.

Yours, Adrienne

Beaucerons du Chateau Rocher

Woodlake, CA

At Beaucerons du Chateau Rocher, the Beauceron is a passion, not a business nor a livelihood. In our breeding program, we strive to maintain the true Beauceron temperament and working ability: a stable, trainable dog that is a pleasure to live with; a family companion and guardian without being a liability.

Our breeding stock comes from top French and Belgian working and show lines which are carefully combined to produce Beaucerons that are not only beautiful to look at, but have the ability to perform the tasks they were originally bred for. So many breeds end up split into “show dogs” that are nice to look at but have lost their working ability, and “working dogs” that have working ability but bear little resemblance to their breed Standards. At Beaucerons du Chateau Rocher we are determined not to let that happen!

Our puppies are handled daily from birth and are exposed to a variety of experiences and sounds as they grow. They are socialized with people and animals. They are individually identified so the progress and personality of each pup can be monitored. The utmost of care is taken to match the puppy with its new family.

PacificGate Kennels

We are preservation breeders located in the Pacific Northwest, north of Seattle WA. This means that our primary goal is to produce the most ideal representatives of our breed, according to the AKC Breed Standard. Breeding is a lifelong passion and not a career. All our dogs live inside with us as part of our family, most even sleep on the bed at night.

At PacificGate Beaucerons, my foremost priority is conducting breed-specific health and temperament testing. This meticulous approach ensures that each Beauceron I breed is in optimal health, adhering to the breed's standard and maintaining their integrity.

I've been involved with dog shows since 2003 and a Beauceron owner since 2009. I'm an avid enthusiast of various dog sports such as conformation, agility, obedience, rally, and herding, all of which showcase the remarkable versatility and skills of the Beauceron breed. These activities not only highlight their capabilities but also promote an active and engaging lifestyle for my dogs. While great working dogs, Beaucerons excel at being family dogs. There is no shortage of cuddles on the couch on a rainy Washington day or a long hike in the woods. I strive to breed dogs that have a level temperament that make them enjoyable home companions as well as ready to work.
