Meet the breeder
I'm Kay K., the breeder behind Du Terroir located in Talking Rock, GA. My husband, Don, and I are experienced breeders of top-quality Briards and have owned Bergamascos for 12 years and have recently decided to breed them to encourage preservation. Our puppies are raised with care, and we only sell to responsible homes. We are committed to staying connected to our puppy familiesthroughout their lifetimes to ensure they never feel alone and can raise their new, furry companion with confidence and joy.
