History |
|
|
Lineage goes back more than 1,000 years.
They claim their ancestry to the rough-coated sheepdogs which were brought to Europe accompanying Asian invaders in the Middle Ages.
In native France Briards have long been regarded as a shepherd dog.
The name Briard came to be used in 1989 when people started calling him the chien berger de Brie (shepherd dog of Brie).

It is also important that the Briard be introduced to several different individuals of all ages and in all types of situations. Socialization starting at a very young age is mandatory. Briards should be walked as often as possible, to many different places, and they will develop into a well rounded animal. Pet stores, city parks and malls are a good place to start.
