A briard is NOT a golden retriever with a pretty coat! A briard is a dog of handsome form. Vigorous and alert, powerful without coarseness, strong in bone and muscle, a briard easily exhibits the strength and agility required of the herding dog. A briard is a dog of heart, with spirit and initiative, wise and fearless with no trace of timidity. Intelligent, easily trained, faithful, gentle, and obedient, the briard possesses an excellent memory and an ardent desire to please his/her master. He/she retains a high degree of his/her ancestral instinct to guard home and master. Although he/she is reserved with strangers, he/she is loving and loyal to those he/she knows. Some will display a certain independence. (from AKC Briard Page) |
