Briard
The Briard[a] or Berger de Brie[b] is a French breed of large shepherd dog, traditionally used both for herding sheep and to defend them. It was first shown at the first Paris dog show, in 1863; the first Briard to be registered in the Livre des Origines Françaises, the national stud-book, was Sans Gêne in 1885.[3] It was in the past also known as the Chien de Berger français de Plaine.read more
