Description of Briard
A key detail of the bright appearance of the pet is the coat. Quite strict requirements are imposed on him. It should be thick, dense, stiff (even coarse). He covers his entire body with his veil. It is very important that the ears are plentifully equipped. Also, hair hangs over the eyes, covers them, but should not interfere with a comfortable life.
The body of the caudate is rather large, athletic, well-built. The head is in harmony with it, elongated. Her ears are hanging. By the way, they used to be stopped before, today it’s not necessary.
The limbs in the description of Briard have well-coordinated muscles, strong.

Briard content
For the maintenance of Briard, the aviary in a large private house with its own land is the best fit, since it will still be crowded in the apartment. It is important to provide him with a secluded, warm corner. Despite such a thick coat, during severe frosts, the animal can freeze.
By the way, about the coat. Be prepared for the fact that beautiful, long, healthy hair requires a lot of attention. In order not to start the process of tangling the wool in the tangles, take care of daily combing. It will take a lot of time, but labor will bear fruit. As for swimming, it should be carried out no more than once a month. If the tailed one lives on the street, then several times a year, so as not to damage the natural protective barrier.
And of course, remember to cut your teeth, brush your ears, rinse your eyes, and cut your claws.

Training Briard
Like any other puppy, training Briard should start from the first minutes in a new home. He is very smart, active, inquisitive. Everything around him is interesting for him. That is why it is important for you to immediately show your credibility and focus on yourself. Be firm, because it has a certain authoritarianism.
Start your education with basic teams, and only then with service skills. If you feel that giving you the right thing is hard for you, consider hiring a professional dog handler.
I would like to advise in no case to use violence against the pet, even in case of disobedience, fault. So, you will worsen the relationship between you. The dog will cease to trust you and can only become even more aggressive.
