Meet the breeder

I'm Ellen D., the breeder behind Feu de l'Âme Beaucerons located in Hickory, MS. Feu de l’Âme means "fire of the soul." Our goal is to produce Beaucerons with strong working drives, stable temperaments, sound health, and correct structure. We strive to preserve and improve the qualities needed for success as working dogs while maintaining the breed's historic character and presence.

Q. & A. with Ellen

Why did you start breeding?
My original goal was simply to find the perfect companion for my family. After becoming involved in dog sports and mentoring under Casey of Royale Beaucerons, I whelped and raised my first litter with Zada. That experience sparked a passion for preserving the Beauceron's working ability, temperament, and versatility.
What makes your program special?
Every litter is carefully planned with a focus on health, temperament, structure, and working ability. Puppies are raised in a hands-on family environment using Puppy Culture protocols, extensive socialization, and early enrichment. My goal is to produce confident, versatile Beaucerons that excel as both working partners and family companions.
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.

Getting a puppy from Ellen

Ellen has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

“Puppies are matched to homes based on temperament, drives, structure, and each family's goals. We carefully evaluate every puppy and place them where they are most likely to thrive, rather than allowing selections based solely on color, sex, or birth order.”

Nova, mom
Beauceron
About Nova
Nova joined Feu de l’Âme Beaucerons in 2023 from Noir Sans Peur in Poland, representing the next generation of the program. She is the ultimate working dog—athletic, energetic, and always eager to engage with her handler. With outstanding environmental stability and adaptability, she thrives in new challenges. Her strong pack, prey, and food drives, combined with excellent focus and biddability, make her a joy to train. Currently training in dock diving and scent work, with plans to add herding or agility. After completing health testing and earning titles, she will join the breeding program. True to the Beauceron spirit, Nova is serious in work yet deeply devoted to her family. Initially aloof with strangers, she becomes lap-dog affectionate. She’s always ready to work and the dog I trust most with my children—alert, watchful, and protective.
