    • Past Club Activites


    The club's activities support our mission of promoting an appreciation of this unique breed. We have organized and provided hospitality for supported entries at all-breed shows and at our annual regional specialty. The club has also hosted several Briard Club of America national specialties, attracting large numbers of Briard entries from all areas of the United States and Canada.

    The club strives for a mix of events: in addition to planning and hosting shows, the club has also conducted herding instinct tests to introduce members and their dogs to herding and we have held seminars on grooming, handling, and basic training techniques. Additionally, we have held fun fairs and matches, agility and obedience run throughs, and picnics and other fun events that aid Briard owners in the very necessary socialization of young Briards.
