Rufnit Kennels Braque du Bourbonnais – Progeny Accomplishments/Awards
A proud member of the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association. NAVHDA is the foundation registry and testing organization for the Braque du Bourbonnais in North America. Testing our companions provides information about their hunting and physical abilities, as well as their mental stability. NAVHDA provides an excellent approach to training hunting dogs. 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. As for North American bred Braque du Bourbonnais’, Rufnit Kennels’ progenies notably dominate the NAVHDA Prize I NA’s (~80%), with numerous progeny holding NA Prize II and NA Prize III positions! In addition to NAVHDA accomplishments, Rufnit Kennels is honored to have the first progeny receiving the Bird Dog Challenge Championship title.
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. We are providing progeny with a solid foundation that each family/individual can build/mold to their personal styles/situations.

***CONGRATULATIONS RUFNIT FALICIA!!***
NAVHDA NA Prize II (103/112)
June 10, 2007
(~14 months old)
Falicia and her companion, Clare, had several unfortunate things happen to them the last few weeks prior to their NAVHDA NA test date.
Falicia was attacked by a canine while the dog walker was exercising her. During her recovery from her injuries, she began her first heat cycle. Finally her injuries were healing and heat cycle coming to an end, so they were able to participate in the last training day prior to the upcoming test which was now a week away.
Two days prior to Falicia’s NAVHDA test, Clare’s father (residing in FRANCE) had to undergo an unexpected extensive surgery. As if that wasn’t enough to deal with, the Saturday before the Sunday Clare’s daughter became ill and they spent the day at the hospital.
With Clare’s determination, she was able to work through all of the unfortunate circumstances and run Falicia in the NA test, coming home with a 103 Prize II.
Unknown to Clare at the time, Falicia’s test qualified Rufnit Kennels for another prestige award…the second “NAVHDA Natural Ability Breeder Award” for the Braque du Bourbonnais. Falicia, in conjunction with her three brothers Forrest, Fletcher and Fortune received qualifying Prizes towards the award.
Clare, THANK YOU for taking the time to run Falicia through NAVHDA.
Your family has provided Falicia with an OUT STANDING home!
Falicia is very fortunate to have you as a companion…and I…to have you as a friend!

I want to THANK my puppy owners for
the time and dedication they have put into testing their RUFNIT COMPANIONS
through NAVHDA…It is greatly appreciated!
…excellence is our progeny standard
There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.
~Bern Williams~
“Why Rufnit Kennels, LLC…
There are several appealing components of your breeding program!!
One of the most appealing is being able to see what your breeding stock has accomplished
in addition to being able to see what their progeny are accomplishing!
I found this of the utmost importance since I’m not acquiring your stock, but I am acquiring their progeny… my decision was confirmed, we couldn’t be happier with our Rufnit Companion!!
Shari, Thanks so much!”

| Rufnit Kennels, LLC is honored to be recognized and supported by the Club du Braque du Bourbonnais (breed club in the country of origin – FRANCE) |
There are many reputable breeders of fine upland hunting dogs throughout North America. Unfortunately in this business like so many others, the buyer needs to be aware. Make sure that the puppy comes from a line of dogs that have good health credentials. There should be a good history in the pedigree of dogs that perform in the field (field trials, hunt tests, etc.). As a rule, avoid “backyard breeders.” Leave the art and science of breeding to the breeders experienced with the breed and have produced proven progeny. Take the time to make contacts and see if there are any consistent problems reported about the particular breeder you have selected. NAVHDA (North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association) is the foundation registry and testing organization for the Braque du Bourbonnais in North America. We sell to only responsible owners and utilize the “Breeding Restriction” registration offered by the registries. Rufnit Kennels assumes a lifetime responsibility for the canine lives we place on this earth. We require the dog/pup be returned to Rufnit Kennels should a situation arise and a dog/puppy need to be relocated.
Remember that the least expensive part of the cost of a dog is its initial price. Vet bills, feeding, kenneling, training etc. are what really cost the most. Our advice: Do your research, you and your companion will benefit in the long run.
