Brie Shepherd

History, origin & features

Formerly known as the “Chiens de Berger français de Plaine”, the Berger de Brie is a cross between the barbet and the short-haired Beauce shepherd.
Initially used as a herding dog, they were also used by the French army during the First and Second World Wars to search for the wounded on battlefields. Endowed with a strong character, the Berger de Brie tends to want to become his own master very quickly, so simple but firm training is recommended from an early age. They are affectionate and friendly, and will get on well with children. Efficient as a sheepdog, he is also a watchdog. The Berger de Brie is a medium-sized, fairly long, well-proportioned dog with a lively appearance, despite its eyes hidden under a dense coat that covers its entire body. The coat is long and dry (goat hair). The color is generally uniform black, fawn, charcoal fawn, gray or blue.
