Often called “a heart wrapped in fur,” the Briard makes a great family dog. They are devoted to there owner, happiest following you around the house while you do chores or watching you watch television on a rainy day.

The Briard is an ideal companion for someone who wants a lovable, but not overly dependent, dog. A member of the Herding Group, he weighs in at around 75 pounds and lives comfortably in the country or city — as long as he’s with his family and gets sufficient exercise.

The Briard is an intelligent breed and a quick study when it comes to training, though he can be stubborn and want to do things his own way. Owners must be prepared to establish pack leadership from an early age or the dog is likely to take a shot at the role himself.

With a strong instinct to herd, it’s not unusual for him to try to gather or keep the children or adults in his family within certain boundaries. He may nudge, push, or bark at his “flock.”

The Briard’s wariness of strangers makes him an excellent guard dog, and he’s forever ready to defend his family and territory if he perceives danger. With the proper training and socialization, however, you can encourage him to be more accepting of outsiders. A Briard puppy should be introduced to many new and different people, places, and situations during the first year of his life. These early experiences help ensure you have an adult Briard with a positive outlook on life.

There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part, the Briard does extremely well with children. If you’re bringing a Briard pup — or any dog — into a house with kids, it’s important to teach both how to interact with each other. If you do not have children, but plan on doing so in the next few years, it’s essential that you socialize your puppy to children. 

THESE ARE THE THINGS YOU HAVE TO KEEP ON MIND WHILE ADOPTING A BRIARD
