What is a Preservation Breeder?

As breeders, our mission is to preserve the established breeds that have been developed over many decades and centuries. Each breed was created to fulfill a specific purpose and to realize the founders’ vision of the ideal dog, as described in their written Standards. Purebred dogs embody living history, where their form is closely aligned with their intended function. Even though some original roles—such as bullfighting, ratting, acting as palace sentinels, guiding carriages, and various types of hunting—may no longer exist, it remains our responsibility as breeders to produce dogs that could still perform those functions today. To maintain the essential characteristics of the breed—such as conformation, breed type, temperament, and instinct—we must carefully select breeding pairs in each generation, along with providing thoughtful care and proper animal husbandry.

Breeding high-quality purebred dogs has become more challenging than ever. In addition to the rising societal, economic, and municipal obstacles, many breeds are experiencing a decline in their foundational bloodlines as the era of large kennels and extensive breeding programs recedes. The prevalence of popular sire syndrome further complicates matters as the number of quality stud dog options decreases. Together, these factors make the pursuit of the ideal dog increasingly difficult.

Nonetheless, despite these challenges, we continue to work diligently to produce the "better" dog with each generation. Moving closer to the ideal breed type outlined in the Standard. This noble commitment extends beyond mere breed preservation; it encompasses breed advancement and conservation.

What are your goals as a breeder?

Our puppies are raised with love, adventure, and patience. We proudly use Puppy Culture and Avidog protocols while raising our litters. Our first goal is to produce a litter that contributes to the preservation of our wonderful breed. We believe in producing a healthy, versatile Beauceron that is the correct drive, energy, and temperament. Our second goal is to teach each puppy how to deal with stress appropriately. A dog that can successfully deal with stress, both positive and negative, can better handle situations of overstimulation, fear, and excitement with critical thinking instead of a fight-or-flight instinct. Our third goal is to pair each puppy with the family that best suits them. We do our best to fufil the preference of color and/or gender, but the bottom line is the puppy must possess the traits to be a successful member of your family first and foremost! A puppy that needs a job will not find fulfillment being a loyal companion that hikes on the weekends and will drive their family crazy.

What if I only want or need a specific Gender or Color?

That is totally understandable! We want you to be able to bring home a puppy that checks all your boxes. We just ask that you are prepared to be patient. The right match may not be in the next litter. Remember, we want to set up both the puppy and the family for 14+ years of sucess and happiness.

Puppy Culture Program

The Puppy Culture Program is the superior program in early socialization and puppy raising. It puts strong emphasis on early neurological stimulation but there are various parts to puppy culture that includes: developmental periods, enrichment effects, early socialization, communication trinity, and problem prevention. This sets up the puppy for a successful future, and the breeder to raise a successful litter. Follow this link (https://shoppuppyculture.com/pages/breeder) to be able to look further into puppy culture and the small details included that are essential tools to us in rearing your puppy until it is placed in your loving home. We encourage you to do research on the Beauceron as a breed (as well as meeting many in person), and you will see how constructive this program is when raising Beaucerons.

Our Puppies

Our puppies here at Svajonė are extremely important to us, as all puppies to their breeders are. We believe in ethical and responsible breeding along with raising the puppies in the best way possible. Every breeder breeds, raises, and places puppies in their own way. No matter which way one does it, all the puppies in each litter will be different from one another wether in color, conformation, and personality. They may be slight and subtle or drastic, but there are differences that need to be taken into consideration by the breeder while placing pups in their new homes. Evaulation of litters and puppies begins at just 3 days old.

Puppy Placement: That being said we place our puppies with the homes that best fit them. When we take deposits it is not first come, first pick. You are letting us know that you are serious about wanting a puppy from our program. We love to hear your preferences for sex and color, however, that does not guarantee that the puppy will be the best fit for you. Through the Puppy Culture and AvidDog Program that we use to rear our puppies, allows us to see how the puppy is growing, and reacting to be able to judge what kind of dog it will mature into to the best of our abilities If you do not like the puppy(s) that we have chosen for you due to your preference of gender and color your despost deposit to our sutiable next planned litter.

Co-Ownership, AKC Registration, and Microchip: All of our puppies will leave our program on a co-ownership. On puppies going to a show home and/or full registration this is to prevent from litters being produced before the dog is less than two years of age, has completed health testing, and/or gained a title(s) in a sport. If all of this is completed then we will discuss what breeding your Beauceron will bring to the breed. For puppies leaving on limited registration for a pet home, this will be to prevent litter and pre-mature spay/neuter. We do require the puppy to be spayed/neutered between 18-24 months, no sooner and no later. We do support and encourage Ovarian Save Spays & Vasectomy neuters. There will be more details in the contract about this and the consequences to buyer. We register and Microchip the puppies with AKC before they leave to go home with you.

Going Home, Vaccination & Worming Schedule: We want our puppies to leave our home with the best possible foundation behind them. Our puppies go home at between 9 to 10 weeks old after completed 9 to 10 weeks of the puppy culture program with us. Puppies come home with started potty training, leash training, crate training, clicker training, barrier frustration, socializtion, and more. Included in your puppy pack will be the puppies vaccination and worming pamphlet as well as a future schedule for you to follow with your vet. You will need take this pamphlet with you into your puppy check appointment with you vet so they can have records of the puppies previous shots and worming.

This allows us as breeders to only improve our program based on the feedback from French judges.

We sponsor all puppy buyers to become lifelong members of The American Beauceron Club (ABC)! This allows you to become involved with the club and keep up to date on all things Beauceron!
