Good to know
- French herder and guardian: bred to herd and guard flocks, they are protective, loyal and often wary of strangers.
- Long coat to maintain: the long, slightly wavy coat needs thorough brushing to the skin regularly to prevent mats.
- Needs exercise and a role: they are active and intelligent, and thrive on daily exercise and training.
- A low-shedding coat. Some people with allergies find that easier to live with, but no breed is allergen-free.
Getting out with a Briard
They need daily exercise beyond a stroll: longer trails, games of fetch and time to run at the park.
