About Clairvaux Noir

Located in Redding, California

Clairvaux Noir is a Beauceron preservation breeding program founded by Kadie Reich, a professional dog trainer with nearly a decade of combined experience across multiple disciplines including detection work, competitive bite sports, and raising and developing police dogs.

Years spent training, handling, and competing with working dogs have shaped Kadie's approach to breeding, with an emphasis on sound temperament, strong nerves, functional structure, and genuine working ability. Breeding decisions are guided by demonstrated performance rather than assumptions.

At the center of the program is Salem, Kadie's foundation bitch and the benchmark against which future pairings are evaluated. The goal is to produce Beaucerons capable of succeeding in sport, work, and active homes while preserving the intelligence, versatility, and character that define the breed.


Philosophy

Our breeding philosophy is centered on producing dogs with sound temperament, strong nerves, functional structure, and genuine working ability.

Every breeding decision is based on demonstrated performance, proven character, and overall quality rather than assumptions or pedigree alone. We are committed to preserving and advancing dogs that possess the stability, capability, and soundness required to excel as both working partners and reliable companions.
