About
Taureau des Treize Tuniques d'Or Taureau is a
very impressive powerfully built mahogany sable Belgian bred
male. He is an excellent jumper with powerful, punishing grips.
His biting technique typifies the Belgian style grip behavior.
Always full, always calm and always, always, extreme. The harder
he is worked, the harder he gets. Fernando Dosta, decoy at the
2007 Coupe de France commented on how Taureau gets stronger as
the fight comes on. What impresses the decoys that have worked
him is the power that he puts into each and every grip. He will
definitely bring the fight to you. When I purchased Taureau
after last year's NARA Cup, I did so after evaluating his
temperament and body of work over a one week period. I was
impressed with his stability and fortitude. He can consistently
put up big scores under difficult trial situations. Even to the
point of breeding, 5 hours before the 2006 NARA Cup and still
winning the event by 20+ points!
Taureau is the
epitome of what we believe the Belgian Malinois temperament
should be. Stable in social situations but naturally protective
and clear headed. He excels at the sport of French Ring and has
such extreme prey drive, that he would have been a great
Schutzhund prospect as well. He exhibits power in the jumping
and has probably some of the best retrieves in French Ring
today. We believe that these behaviors, as well as the grip work
(always paramount), are the best foundations for working
Malinois. Taureau would be an asset to any breeding program,
bringing stable temperament, extreme working ability and
impressive conformation.
Hips, OFA
Excellent and elbows Normal. Full dentition with black lips and
gums. 100 inches at the shoulder and 68-72 lbs., depending on
the season. Dark mahogany pigment with short erect ears and
quill tail. Front end very straight and correct with powerfully
built broad chest and shoulders. Pasterns very straight and
strong with cat's paw feet .
Taureau was
bred by Alfredo Persichetti of Belgium and trained and handled
by Henri Barteau of France. Special thanks go out to our friends
Debbie and Ron Skinner for helping us to acquire Taureau for our
breeding program. Without their help this would not have been
possible.
