Alchazandis Voslubeniy (Phoenix)

I have kept Pyreneans since 1989 and Saint Bernards since 1996. All my adult dogs are hip-scored, most are elbow-scored, and I am now beginning heart-testing. Enquiries over the telephone are always preferred as I do not have the net at home, so your email would be answered but maybe not for some days!
My first Pyrenean, Nushka, a rescued stray, had many behavioural problems. This led to me subsequently becoming a highly qualified dog behaviourist with a Diploma in Behaviour Therapy. I am currentlystudying for an advanced diploma in canine behaviour management. Nushka also had terrible hip dysplasia, for which she had to be put down. This is is the origins if my passion for breeding mentally AND physically sound dogs. It infuriates me when I tell an enquirer of our dogs' good health record and they say "we only want a pet" My response is , "How long do you want your pet to live?"
Part of breeding a mentally sound dog, does I believe, mean selling a puppy which is ready to live in a pet home. Our pups are reared in the house, well-socialised, and never forcibly removed from their mums; the mum can have as much access to, or freedom from the pups as she wants. That way they learn their first life lessons from her, their best teacher. I do show the dogs, and our successes are referred to elsewhere; my dogs have never come away from Crufts with no prize cards but selling a pup to a loving forever home means more to me. I am very proud if buyers show promising dogs, and give encouragement and help if they wish to do so, but they are never obligated. Puppies are never sold on show or breeding terms; I do not believe it is possible to guarantee a young pup will grow to show or breeding quality.
Lifelong training and behavioural support is always included, and I always take dogs back for life if necessary. This means I do sometimes have adult dogs in need of good homes. It also means I would not like export enquiries, as I could not get a dog back from outside the UK in unforeseen circumstances. if you enquire for one of my dogs, please do expect twenty questions, and recognise that I may ask to homecheck you. Regarding stud enquiries; you are welcome to enquire if your Pyrenean or Saint Bernard is over two years old, and Kennel Club registered, but I only very rarely use my dogs at outside stud and please do not be offended if I ask whether you have the facilities to breed responsibly before I give your enquiry serious consideration.
That's all from me.. Briony.

...I have received many kind testimonials over the years, but was particularly touched by the following, sent by experienced Pyrenean owners Valerie and George Terry. Little Bess replaced their adored Sebastian:

"Breeding" Remarkable
I am Best Baby Bear, "Bess" for short;
Briony bred and trained me and I do what i ought.
I've been with my new owners for fourteen days
And they're most appreciative of my little ways.
I come when I'm called and I sit, stay and wait;
I've every intention to continue this trait.
I'm but four months old, so I've been told
and though very gentle, I can also be bold.
I've travelled by car from really quite far
And so long journeys are not any bar.
I have every intention to be always like this
As i have come from 'Alchazandis'
Valerie and George are the names of my pets
I really think this is as good as it Gets.
