Clairvaux Noir is absolutely thrilled to announce our upcoming planned litter between
Tako du Murier de Sordeille NHAT NHATO
x
CH Someone Cast a Spell on Me du Vaillant Feu PDC PD1 FO CGCA CGCU TKA.
Tako is defined first by his character: stable, confident, and rock solid, a dog who takes in the world without being rattled by it. Devoted to his people and protective of the children in his life, he remains curious, playful, and genuinely sweet; a dog who takes his work seriously without losing clarity. This is precisely the temperament we look for: stable, strong-nerved, confident dogs capable of real work and equally suited to family life.
Tako is moderate and correct in structure, agile and athletic. His clean front assembly and strong rear angulation make him a strong structural complement to Salem, whose powerful rear we hope to balance toward correct, proportional angulation in their offspring.
He is currently training in Recherche Utilitaire (RU), a French tracking discipline, alongside search and rescue work. He carries medium food drive and high prey drive (a trait we are thrilled to pair with Salem’s) combined with low handler sensitivity, allowing him to take correction in stride without shutting down.
This pairing represents a deliberate linebreeding on F’karma du Manoir des Gandines, a Ring 3 dog recognized for strong working ability, natural full grips, and compression, while remaining social, stable, and strong-nerved at home.
We anticipate puppies with high drive, stable and strong-nerved temperaments, correct and moderate structure: dogs suited for bite work, detection, herding, sport, or simply serving as an exceptional companion.
We extend our sincere thanks to Tako’s owner, Vince Mode, and his breeder, Guy Bonnefoy, for making this pairing possible. From coordinating across time zones to welcoming us with open in arms in France, this pairing would not be possible without their generosity, patience, and support.
