Buying a Briard
Buying a Briard is a big decision, and it is important to feel confident throughout the entire process. On Get a Pet, you can compare current listings from both breeders and private sellers, see price, age, and location, and contact sellers directly.
All listings show essential information about the dog, so you can easily decide whether it fits your lifestyle and circumstances.
What kind of temperament does a Briard typically have?
They are usually loyal, sensitive and deeply attached to their family, with a natural instinct to watch over home and people. Many are reserved or cautious with strangers but not aggressive when well socialized. They are intelligent, strong willed and respond best to calm, consistent handling.
Is a Briard a good family dog for homes with children?
They can be excellent family companions for respectful, dog‑savvy children because of their protective and affectionate nature. However, their herding instincts may lead them to nudge or “round up” running kids, which some families find overwhelming. Early training and supervision are important to teach appropriate behavior around children.
How much exercise does a Briard need each day?
Most adults need at least 60 to 90 minutes of daily physical activity plus mental work, such as training or scent games. They are working herding dogs and can become restless, vocal or destructive if under exercised. Long walks, secure off leash play and structured tasks suit them better than short, casual strolls.
How difficult is Briard grooming and coat care?
The long, coarse coat requires regular maintenance, usually full brushing several times a week to prevent mats and tangles. Owners should expect sessions that reach down to the skin and pay attention to areas behind the ears, under the legs and around the tail. Professional grooming and occasional trimming around the paws and sanitary areas are often helpful.
Can a Briard live comfortably in an apartment or small home?
They can adapt to smaller spaces if their exercise and mental needs are reliably met every day. Stairs and elevators are usually not a problem, but lack of outdoor activity will be. Regular access to safe open areas and a structured routine matters more than the size of the living space.
Are Briards good with other dogs and pets?
Many do well with other dogs if they are socialized early and supervised during interactions, especially with dogs of the same sex. Their guarding and herding instincts can lead to bossy or controlling behavior toward other animals. With careful introductions they can coexist with cats and livestock, but individual temperament varies widely.
What health problems are Briards prone to?
Common concerns include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and certain eye issues such as cataracts or progressive retinal atrophy. Some lines may be at risk of bloat and autoimmune conditions. Responsible breeders typically screen hips, elbows, eyes and sometimes hearts to reduce the likelihood of inherited disease.
Do Briards really have a natural herding and guarding instinct?
Yes, they were developed as all‑purpose French farm dogs that guarded flocks and drove livestock. Many still show strong instincts to watch over territory and to control movement of people or animals. This can be channeled into herding sports, obedience, tracking or other structured work so it does not become a behavior problem.
How trainable is a Briard for first‑time owners?
They are highly intelligent and capable of advanced training but can be independent, sensitive and quick to notice inconsistency. Harsh methods tend to damage trust, while patient, reward‑based training works much better. First‑time owners who are prepared to attend classes and follow a clear structure can succeed, but the breed is not ideal for very casual or hands‑off owners.
How well does a Briard handle being left alone during the day?
They form strong bonds and may struggle with long periods of isolation, which can lead to barking, pacing or destructive behavior. Gradual alone‑time training, interactive toys and a reliable routine help many adults cope. Households where someone is home part of the day or can provide midday breaks are usually a better fit.
