Looking for a Breton

Please note that the CEB selects «litters» or «matings» according to objective criterions considering :

-The Hip-Dysplasia (HD) test of both parents

-The outlook as soon as a parent is rated « 2/6-RECONNU » and so has been awarded an « excellent » qualification in a show « spéciale de race »

-The ability for hunting, by being successfull at a TEST D'APTITUDES NATURELLES (T.A.N./Natural Ability Test) for the rating « 2/6-RECONNU », or by awards in field-trials for the rating « 3/6-SELECTIONNE »

 For more details please refer to « RATING SYSTEM »

 NB : Please note that the question « CHERCHER SELON » will give, as answer:
-for MOIS REEL, the month where the mating/birth effectively occured
-for MOIS SCC, the month where the mating/birth has been registered by the french Kennel Club (SCC) , which may be far later than the date of the event itself.

Selected matings and births

Since March 2006, the CEB website informs about the matings and births with the indication : "SELECTIONNEE C.E.B.". Many visitors wonder about the criterions that open the door to such a free advertising. We are happy to answer.

The C.E.B. does not select breeders, but it selects  litters according to objective and clear criterions.

Are selected :

• 1. all the litters for which the total of the rating of both parents is at least of 4 points, be it by 2 + 2, or by 3 + 1, provided both parents are officially HD checked, with a level of A, B, or even C.
• 2. all the litters out of a champion A (automn FT), P (springtime FT), GS (wild game) or CS (french show) -all of these titles implying a HD level of A, or B, even C-, provided the other parent is rated at least 1-CONFIRME and is officially HD checked, with a level of A, B, or even C.

Beware : The presumable quality of a puppy will not be proportional to the rating of the litter it is issued from. As such, the puppy out of a litter rated 8 points will not be «twice  better» than the puppy issued from a litter rated at 4 points. But the genitors of the litter rated at 8 points will have satisfy to more tests about the standard and the working ability than those of a litter rated at 4 points. In both cases, the requirement about hip dysplasia is the same.
