Rufnit Kennels Braque du Bourbonnais - About Us
Owner/Breeder: Shari Stueck
Rufnit Kennels, LLC was established in 1978 and is licensed in the State
of Nebraska.
Don't let the term "Kennels" in
our name fool you, our companions DO NOT reside outside in KENNELS or
DOG RUNS...ALL of our companions are an extended part of our family and
share our home.
Originally we bred and trained Cocker Spaniels and Labrador Retrievers
for AKC (American Kennel Club) obedience and field trials.
During an upland hunt in 1993, Rufnit Kennels was introduced to the
Braque du Bourbonnais. Maggie, was the first Braque du Bourbonnais to
be registered and tested with NAVHDA (North American Versatile Hunting
Dog Association) which is the foundation organization in North America
for the breed.
The Braque du Bourbonnais (Bourbonnais Pointer) proved to be the
"Complete Companion" for the family and field. Not only was Rufnit
Kennels introduced to a fantastic breed, but also to an outstanding
organization, NAVHDA.
Rufnit Kennels continues to make history by
being the sole recipient
of the prestigious "Natural
Ability Breeder Awards" presented by NAVHDA for the Braque du
Bourbonnais. These awards confirm that Rufnit Kennels is
keeping on track with their breeding program. By NAVHDA using a
"standard" for testing purposes, Rufnit Kennels can compare our Braque
du Bourbonnais with other versatile breeds. We are producing Braque du
Bourbonnais' with fantastic hunting instincts and abilities. Rufnit
Kennels has produced the youngest Braque du Bourbonnais to receive
"Prizes" in Natural Ability through NAVHDA at five months of age
(proving true Natural
Ability), the Utility Preparatory Test at eleven months of age and the
Utility Test at nineteen months of age. Rufnit Kennels thrives on
producing superior companions. To ensure the quality of our companions
we take it a step higher than ever before, as the Braque du Bourbonnais
breeder to DNA Certify our
Sire's and Dam's. Rufnit Kennels is worthy of their place in the Braque
du Bourbonnais' "history-in-the-making."
As the above information indicates, our breeding practices are proving
to be superior. ALL of our breeding's are matched up for the production
of OUTSTANDING companions, in and out of
the field. Great dogs do not happen by accident and neither do our
breeding's. Each litter is planned and genetically calculated in
advance for the improvement of the breed and our breeding program. We
are providing progeny with a solid foundation that each
family/individual can build/mold to their personal styles/situations
