We have lots of fun in dog sports such as Lure Coursing, Agility, Herding and Endurance work. Briards are wonderful athletes or couch potatoes, as long as they are with family, they are happy. We take pride in the amazing temperaments of our dogs, their temperaments are evident when it comes to their working results. Sound, biddable temperament is paramount in our Briards. Our dogs are great all round family dogs, and extremely adaptable to different lifestyles. We work very hard at keeping the Briard as it should be - a functioning, well balanced shepherd's dog.

The Merveille prefix was established in 2001 by Dr Kay Sanderson. Kay has loved and lived with briards for over 25 years. Merveille is an ancient French word meaning marvellous or wonderful which indeed briards are. It was only in 2019 that Kay bred for the first time with her beautiful, friendly, fawn girl, Freya, officially Tiahart Miss Monroe. In an endeavour to increase the gene pool in Australia. Kay imported semen from a beautiful black briard boy from Belgium. His name is Marco Polo du Coeur des Tresors, owned by Peggy Vlaminckx. Marco is a Belgium youth champion with a character test score of 18/20. Freya gave birth to 10 healthy puppies on 17th September, 2019 then 13 healthy puppies on 16th January 2021. All these puppies are in lovely homes with owners reporting lovely characteristics and beautiful temperaments.. Freya and Marco's beautiful, affectionate and loving fawn daughter gave birth to 6 gorgeous puppies mid July 2022 and 7 gorgeous puppies mid July 2023. Semen was imported this time from a beautiful fawn Italian champion called Lud. Hermione O'Ren, his owner, describes Lud as a very friendly, affectionate, balanced, loyal and attentive dog. All puppies from both litters have loving homes and very happy owners. If you are interested in Merveille puppies please contact Kay at [email protected] CCCQ Membership number: 4100117394.
