Braque du Bourbonnais - Nebraska - Braque Du Bourbonnaiss in Lincoln, Nebraska - Rufnit Kennels, LLC Braque du Bourbonnais

Anticipated Spring 2026 litter. Repeat breeding producing NAVHDA NA Breeder Award Litter. Our Bourbonnais' are bred to hunt (feather and fur). We use ours mainly for grouse, pheasant, quail and chukar. In the field, the Bourbonnais' generally have a closer range. Working deliberately and in conjunction with the foot hunter. My puppies are whelped and raised IN our non-smoking home (the whelping box is actually in my bed room), not in a dog run/kennel. When the pups are ready for their permanent homes, they have already acquired some "house manners." Due to the puppies being kept in a continuously CLEAN environment, potty training tends to come easily. With our puppies being raised in the home, socialization is inevitable. The "puppy health care" program at Rufnit is superior. Each puppy has his/her tail docked, receive de-worming's (at 2, 4 and 6 weeks), their first shots and an ID microchip (at 6 weeks). I use the expertise of an independent licensed veterinarian to attest the health of my puppies. Each veterinarian visit (3 days, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks) includes a thorough health exam, providing "maximum" health care. By the time our pups are ready for their permanent homes, they have been exposed to several environments. In the home, the different sounds (phone, vacuum, canines, washer/dryer, voices) and constant socialization (children, adults, canines) play an invaluable part of training. The litters are introduced to the outdoors/field and water around four weeks of age (daily, weather permitting). At this time we also start "potty/paper" training the pups. As their comfort level rises on our outings, new things are introduced (distance, live quail/chukar/pigeons, blank pistol). Approximately six weeks of age, they are placed on dry food(Purina ProPlan Sport / All Life Stages / Sport / Performance) and we begin crate familiarization. Around eight weeks of age, the pups depart to their homes as well rounded companions.
