Beautiful, impressive, large, shaggy, loving, smart, energetic, faithful, and protective. These are just a few of the qualities of the Briard. Known in their home country, France, as Chien Berger de Brie (shepherd dog from Brie), Briards are called "Hearts Wrapped in Fur." They love their people  and are never far from you. It is so-o-o easy to love a Briard! They make the time spent raising and loving them so worthwhile.

Briards are herding dogs. It is their natural instinct to herd that helps form their personality and character. Briards are bred to know where they belong, to be where they belong, to care for their flock and to protect their "flock". That flock can be sheep, people, and even other dogs. And the Briard version of caring can take many forms, some good, some challenging.

My name is Jeanne Lorang, and I am Lebec Briards. I have owned and loved this breed since 1981. In fact, I'm nuts about them! Please enjoy this website, my Briards, my friends' Briards, and all things Briard.

Sassy with a few descendants.

oops - caught in the act!

 

Syrah, Lebec's Elixir de l'Hermitage, recently finished her AKC Championship. Here she is with Mama Claude when the show ring was just a dream.

 

 

Aladax has tawny pups available! Born 4-27-2012, these charmers will be ready for new homes in late June. Perfect timing to train a new pup during the summer months.

Please Read! A warning to prospective puppy buyers.

As a breeder, I strive to produce healthy, lovely, happy pups, out of healthy, mature parents. That involves research, showing, health clearances, etc. A litter recently (May 2012) offered for sale in San Diego area newspapers is out of a female bred at a younger age than any reputable breeder would consider breeding, and neither parent has any health clearances of any kind. Please, do your research, ask the right questions, and buy from a breeder who cares enough to do it right! I have no puppies for sale right now, so I don't gain by offering this warning. But the Briard community has no place for the lazy backyard breeder. Pups from breeders like this often end up in rescue, and buyers often learn that "buyer beware" applies to puppies too.

 

Looking for a Briard puppy?

Yes, we sell Briard puppies and we brag about our Briards' accomplishments in the show ring and at performance events.

However, what we really want to do is help you learn about the Briard, especially if you are new to the breed.

We want to be sure any home lucky enough to own a Briard knows it is the right breed for them BEFORE a puppy arrives - wherever that puppy comes from.

Please take the time to browse the site, and learn if the Briard is right for you. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us -
by email (Lebec@Briard.com)
or by phone (661) 618-8798.

We also love to talk about Briards in general. So feel free to call us. It's always a pleasure to talk about our breed!
