...excellence is our progeny standard
We are dedicated to promoting quality in the breeding of purebred Braque
du Bourbonnais and to do all that is possible to bring their natural
qualities to perfection. Nothing is more important to us than the
welfare and perpetuation of these remarkable companions.
Our Braque du Bourbonnais excel in water, nose, search, desire and
drive. They are extremely cooperative and train very easily, even for
the first time dog handler. Their desire to please is only outdone by
their desire to find birds. We produce puppies that have strong natural
ability both in the field and the water combined with wonderful
dispositions. This breed is complete, with unbelievable upland and
waterfowl hunting ability, along with being a calm, affectionate
family/house companion.
We are not a puppy mill, nor do we sell to brokers or pet shops. Our
puppies are raised with lots of love IN our non-smoking home and are
only placed in loving, appropriate homes. We utilize the "Breeding
Restriction" registration offered by NAVHDA. Rufnit Kennels is licensed
with the State of Nebraska. We typically raise two or three litters a
year. We raise our puppies for the love of this breed, so others may
experience the enjoyment this breed has to offer. Rufnit Kennels
assumes a lifetime responsibility for the canine lives we have put on
this earth. We require the dog/pup be returned to Rufnit Kennels should
a situation arise and a dog/puppy need to be relocated.
NAVHDA (North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association) is the
foundation registry and field testing organization for the Braque du
Bourbonnais in North America. Our Braque du Bourbonnais are
tested/trialed/shown through NAVHDA, AKC/FSS and UKC. Testing and
showing our companions provides information about their hunting and
physical abilities, as well as their mental stability. They have been
proven to have excellent health, temperament and genetics. Our
philosophy is simple...if you only breed healthy dogs, you only have
healthy puppies. Only top quality sires and dams are added to our
breeding program. They are a minimum of two years of age and proven to
be outstanding family and field companions. We are extremely
conscientious with our breeding program and the litters we produce.
Great dogs do not happen by accident and neither do our breeding's.
Each litter is planned and genetically calculated in advance for the
improvement of the breed and our breeding program. To keep our Dam's
and Litter's healthy, we choose NOT to breed with EVERY heat cycle.
We DNA Certified our Sire's and Dam's. Our goal is to minimize any
inherent health issues and to provide their permanent homes with an
outstanding family and field companion. We are very proud of the Braque
du Bourbonnais that we produce.

**********
There are many reputable breeders of fine upland hunting dogs throughout
North America. Unfortunately in this business like so many others, the
buyer needs to be aware. Make sure that the puppy comes from a line of
dogs that have good health credentials. There should be a good history
in the pedigree of dogs that perform in the field (field trials, hunt
tests, etc.). As a rule, avoid "backyard breeders." Leave the art and
science of breeding to the breeders experienced with the breed and have
produced proven progeny. Take the time to make contacts and see if
there are any consistent problems reported about the particular breeder
you have selected. NAVHDA (North American Versatile Hunting Dog
Association) is the foundation registry and testing organization for the
Braque du Bourbonnais in North America.
Remember that the least expensive part of the cost of a dog is its
initial price. Veterinarian bills, feeding, kenneling, training, etc.
are what really cost the most. Our advice: Do your research, you and
your companion will benefit in the long run.
