I'm the breeder behind Côté Obscur located in Waller, TX. I’m dedicated to preserving the breed as a true working dog. My focus is on maintaining the workability, health, & type so that this powerful, intelligent breed can stay true to what it was originally bred to be …. a capable working dog with a sound mind and the kind of presence you don’t forget.
Q. & A. with Stacy
Why did you start breeding?
I started helping other breeders at the age of 15. I have always wanted to have my own breeding program but ultimately my desire to preserve the Beauceron as a true working breed is what made me decide to breed. I want to produce dogs that *do*. Dogs that can work, think, move, and hold their own in any environment …. as the breed was intended.
What makes your program special?
The time, effort, and overall dedication I put into my dogs & puppies. I actually work my dogs and test their temperaments thoroughly. All of my breeding animals meet or exceed the American Beauceron Club Code of Ethics Standards.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include harlequin and black and rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Côté Obscur reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Beaucerons.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Spine (OFA, FCI), Shoulder Osteochondrosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
