About The Briard
The Briard is a miniature working class dog. It was designed to protect herds of animals, along with herd them up, as would a sheepdog.

Others that are somewhat famous are Tramp (with the 60s sitcom My Three Sons), Jasper (from Bachelor Father), Agent K-13 Fang (through the 60s sitcom Get Wise, the inspiration for Inspector Gadget), Stinky (with the sitcom Dharma and Greg), “Them” (by Addams Family cartoon that was the inspiration for the sitcom plus movies), Reno (with the movie Top Dog), Rosie (from Dennis the Menace, Dennis’ dogs in the course of the movie), in addition to Cho Cho (the important consequence~of tremendous magnitude~of the essence} character of The Karate Dog).
Appearance
The Briard is a
great muscular herding dog in addition to a coarse, long, slightly wavy double coat. Briards are regularly black, gray, or tawny in solid color. The tawny puppy coat turns to a lighter yearling coat. Then the coat deepens in color again to a richer colored adult coat. The hair of an adult coat is six or additional inches, giving the coat an attention-grabbing, bushy facade. The Briard has a shaggy beard, eyebrows, as well as mustache.
The ears
may be cropped or left natural along with are as a rule clipped into a rounded physical condition so the hair falls back from them into the break of the coat. The muzzle is square along with long with the nose is black. The long tail carries a crochet variety hook at the tip. The Briard’s elegant gait is floating in addition to lithe, as if it never touches the ground.
Briards stand 22 to 27 inches at the withers. Ear cropping has been common
over the breed, but extra breeders are leaving the ears in their natural state since ear cropping is becoming against the law in most European countries.
The Briard is a medium sized, rugged,
alert dog. It features a harsh coat plus double dewclaws mounted low on each rear leg, resembling extra toes. Each double dewclaw should have bone substance with a nail, giving the appearance of a wider rear foot. Bred for centuries to herd, the extra “toes” on each rear foot give the Briard the skills of pivoting on one foot for quick turns, which are necessary for their work.
The Briard has retained a balance of size
in addition to build that is required for both herding as well as protection of their flocks. They’re not too super grow tired during herding notwithstanding large enough to fend off predators.
derivation, the Briard was bred to work herding and guarding sheep, as well as this meaning they were left alone to care for the sheep for months at a time without human interaction. This makes the Briard additional versatile than the breeds that only herd or only guard. The size of the Briard has quite a bit to do as well as the occupation they were expected to perform. The smaller, alert, in addition to agile Briard’s were fundamentally used for herding, while the larger, heavier, and stronger breeds were used all in all for guarding the sheep.
The most famous Briard to date is Buck, the dog
