Ch. Just Tigger de Charlemagne was the kennel's first champion and multiple group placer in the late 1970's, prior to the split of the working and herding groups.
His son~ Ch. Prince Tom deBejaune, was the first black Briard in the US to win the Herding Group in 1984.

Her daughter Am./Can Ch. La Diamante de Bejaune, HOF, Rass Select '00 was BOS at the '04 Briard National at 9 and 1/2 years of age.
We have also had excellent success with our tawny campaigners, as BISS Ch. Merielle de Bejaune, Rass Select '00, was a multiple group winner and placer, as well as a Regional Specialty winner, while being campaigned in the late 1990's.
Breeding Briards of both the black and tawny colors, efforts have been concentrated on having dogs who can do well in the ring as well as in the whelping box. Many of the successes have been with the blacks, being among the first to actively campaign dogs of this color.
