Bred by Nada Stralkova, Nadina-Sis

Wilma is my natural eared import from the Czech Republic. Wilma is a beautiful girl who has a huge personality mixed with a great sense of humor. Everyone she meets loves her. Part of this is due to her addiction to tummy rubbing! She absolutely loves to have her tummy rubbed. Anyone who enters my house is fair game. Wilma waits for you to sit down and then quickly works her way into your lap, smiles up at you and positions herself on her back for a tummy rub. Wilma loves human contact. She loves hands on.

If no one is available to rub her tummy, Wilma does it herself. She lays on the couch with her front feet on the floor and rubs her tummy on the edge of the couch. What an addiction!!

And second to tummy rubbing, Wilma likes a good butt scratch. She backs up into my lap, hoists her rear end up, and stays there until it gets scratched. She will do this with all her human friends. In payment, she gives hugs. Wilma stands on her rear legs, puts her paws on your shoulders and looking into your eyes says a happy 'thanks.' Wilma lives to please, and 'happy' is her normal state of mind.

Wilma is slightly over standard ( I would shrink her 10% if I could), with a lot of bone and coat. Her beautiful thick coat is amazing. The coarse texture is exactly what the breed standard talks about. Best of all, it is very easy to maintain. When I look at Wilma, I see exactly what I want in a Briard - proportion, structure, head, neck, and tail blended with a marvelous temperament.

Wilma has both of her majors, and lacks 4 points to finish her AKC Championship - summer heat caught up to me before I finished her. She prefers outdoor shows, and I prefer cool weather! She loves agility, and will stand by the door hoping we are going to class.

Wilma's first litter of pups had her great personality. Outgoing, friendly, and eager to please, they have brought happiness to their homes. Wilma was a great mother the first time around, making my job so easy.

I don't have a lot of pictures of Butch, and what I have is not great quality. This wonderful boy passed away several years ago, and this litter is the result of artificial insemination using frozen semen. I've been planning this breeding since I got Wilma a few years back, because I do love what Butch produced while he was alive! One of my favorite dogs of all time, Belle, is a Butch daughter. And his son Beto also shows what quality he can produce.

Butch was a son of Shaka, Ch Fracasse de Lindeau. Shaka was a three time winner of the Briard Club of America National Specialty. Butch's dam Koko had an illustrious show career as well. Butch was an easy going Briard who ran loose at the dog park every week, despite being an intact male. If you know male Briards, you know this speaks highly of his temperament. Butch primary role was beloved pet, and he was not shown until he was over 6 years old. He finished his championship easily. Butch had lovely movement arising from his great structure, a beautiful coat, and just demanded the judges attention. Photos don't do him justice, as his loving owners kept him (very) well padded. That "padding" throws off the proportion of his head to his body in photos - hands on, it was a different story. .
