Welcome to Nuview Briards. My name is Michele DeTour and I am a breeder, owner, handler. I am particularly devoted to the Briard as I love their independent spirit, beauty and loyalty.
My mother got me involved in the world of show dogs as a handler at the ripe old age of 12. I began showing in junior showmanship and continue to show today. My first Champion was a Rhodesian Ridgeback owned by my mother. I was 15. I have always enjoyed showing dogs in the conformation ring but have also dabbled in herding, obedience, rally & agility.
Today I show my own dogs and, occasionally, will show other people's dogs. In the last few years, I have finished many championships (American and Canadian).
In January of 2011, I bred my first litter in five years. The puppies are now over a year old and doing very well in the show ring. Gem has finished her championship with 3 majors and a Best Bred By Exhibitor in Show. Molly has also finished her championship with 3 majors and a best of breed over a special. Eddie received his UKC championship and multiple group placings at UKC shows. He has 1 point towards his AKC championship. He is now living in Canada to be shown up there. Gio is living in NC, has 7 points, 1 major towards his AKC championship with a best of breed over a Best in Show dog. He received BOS to Gem in sweepstakes at a supported entry.
For information on my dogs and my breeding program, please feel free to peruse these pages. If you have any questions or need any additional information about the breed, feel free to contact me.
Planned breeding with Xena x Beo in 2012
