Briards Past and Present: Conversations with Leading Breeders

The author felt it worthwhile to create a record of some long-established and successful breeders attempting to capture in their own words their concerns and views when breeding. There are interviews from the breed country of origin France vibrant with hundreds of years of history breed development and continual pedigrees. Rich with experience and knowledge France remains an undisputed resource their experts respected worldwide. A few interviews are with people who are French in origin but moved to the USA and continued their involvement. The balance is with breeders from the authors home country the USA. She acknowledges other countries with excellent breeders. She regrets she could not include all the existing talent. This book the author hopes will be a means to leave messages to future breeders to communicate through time and space some valuable points. This book is meant to contribute to the large task of breeding this fine complex old breed of working sleep dog.
