Versorging
Temperament
Briards are loyal, protective and affectionate with their family. They can be wary of strangers and may herd or guard children. They are sensitive and remember both kind and harsh treatment.
Oefening
Allow an hour or more of daily exercise with room to run. Herding, tracking, obedience and agility all suit them.
Versorging
Brush the long coat thoroughly a few times a week, down to the skin, to prevent mats. Shedding is moderate.
Opleiding
Intelligent and willing but independent. Use calm, consistent, reward-based training and thorough socialisation from puppyhood.
Gesondheid
Hip dysplasia, bloat and inherited eye conditions, including congenital stationary night blindness, are known in the breed. Breeding dogs are usually hip and eye screened and DNA tested for CSNB, so ask the breeder for results.

Oor die ras
The Briard, or Berger de Brie, is an old French herding breed that moved and guarded flocks on the farmland around Paris. It worked as both a herder and a guardian, and served with the French army during the First World War.
Briards are large, athletic dogs with a long, goat-like coat and double dewclaws on the hind legs. They are deeply devoted to their family and often reserved with strangers. They need daily activity, consistent training and early socialisation, and they do best in homes where they are included in everyday life.
