Briard

The Briard is a large, powerful herding dog known for its distinctive double coat and loyal temperament. Originally from France, where they were used to herd and guard livestock, Briards are intelligent, brave, and fiercely protective of their families. They are highly trainable but require strong leadership and consistent training to avoid stubbornness and potential aggression. Socialization from an early age is crucial to ensure they interact well with children and other pets. With their energetic nature, Briards need regular exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behavior, making them ideal for active families willing to invest time in their care and training.
