Briards, also known as Berger de Brie, French Shepherd, are handsome, large dogs with their striking, long, flowing coats. They were originally bred as working dogs to herd and guard flocks of sheep in France, where they were highly prized for their alert, friendly and loyal nature. They are known to be extremely bold, but rarely would a Briard display any type of aggressive behaviour unless they felt threatened in some way.
