The Briard is an ancient French herding breed, also known as the Chien Berger de Brie. While not suitable for everyone, Briards make an excellent addition to the right home. From puppies to adults, they are truly "Hearts wrapped in fur".

This web site is provided by a Briard enthusiast and breeder. My goal is to provide the prospective Briard owner with comprehensive information, as well as access to helpful, ethical, and experienced Briard breeders and owners, with experience in all aspects of Briard ownership.

Each page of this website is packed with Briard knowledge, experience and opinions. Please browse around, and learn about our marvelous breed. You will find information on appearance, living with a Briard, Briards and children, health issues, how to find a Briard, and of course the latest news from Lebec Briards and any Guest breeders on this site.

Temperament and health are of prime importance to me, along with the beauty and type that make the Briard a very special dog. Litters are carefully planned, and information about the sire, dam and puppies is provided.

I hope this site will help you decide if this is the breed for you. Meet some Briards, learn about these marvelous dogs, and enjoy your visit! Please come back often.

Sassy, the foundation of my home, specialized in conformation (now retired). Her daughter Page is the only Briard to have a UDX 2, and is working to become the first Briard to earn an OTCH (Obedience Trial Championship). I recently ran across this lovely picture from a couple of years ago.
