Introduction

With their long, flowing coats and piercing eyes, the Briard is a heart-stealer. This French herding breed stands out for its loyalty and intelligence, coupled with an energetic spirit. Though large in size, they are gentle with family and display an unwavering commitment to their loved ones. A Briard's coat requires regular grooming, but their exercise needs are met with moderate activity, making them a versatile companion for both country and city dwellers. Forewarned - their strong-willed nature calls for consistent training.
