About the breed
The Briard or Berger de Brie is a French breed of large shepherd dog, traditionally used both for herding sheep and to defend them. It was in the past also known as the Chien de Berger français de Plaine. It was first shown in 1863, at the first Paris dog show; the first Briard to be registered in the Livre des Origines Françaises, the national stud-book, was Sans Gêne in 1885.— English Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0
